I have been in SUCH a bad mood...I guess I am just TIRED of being overweight and very anxious to have the surgery!

I am SO ready for my surgery! I have my sleep study test tonight to see if I have sleep Apnea so my insurance will cover it!! ( I think I do have it!) If not, I am just going to finance!! I have been dealing with being over weight since I was 14..I am 32! It's time!! I hope the insurance does not take long to approve me..I have Anthem BCBS!

I'm hoping for you too, to have the insurance cover it. If not - at least you have your options mapped out.

Good luck!!! You will soon have your sleeve and on your way to a thinner, happier and healthier you!!! :D

Me to.. I am ready. I have decided to self pay and am going to Mexico. I have researched and researched till my heads about to explode. Just left my primary doctors about another issue and asked the nurse what she thought. she said Go for it. A lot of people do it but don't tell the doctor till you come back. lol.

I was ready to go to Mexico if my insurance turned me down or if my Doc insisted on doing the RNY... lucky for me, they approved. Good Luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
