finished my 6 months insurance requirement today



Recommended Posts

Now to see how long it will take to get a surgery date and really get this journey on its way! I hope I'm going to be able to do this in March. I will say the 6 months went by fairly quickly, all things considered. It's probably good to have a waiting period to become more informed about the entire procedure.

Yay!!! I will be done with my 3 month in april and even if it's going slow its going kinda fast. I agree that it is actually good to have waited. I found a great doctor and a wealth of info on here I would never had otherwise

that is great! I am so jealous - still 3 months of preop to go! Although you're right, the waiting period is a great opportunity to learn everything you can. Good luck, hope you're date comes quick.

Congratulations! I just had my 2nd (of 6) appointments Monday and have my 1st actual appointment with the surgeon Friday. On the one hand I'm so eager to get this going, on the other hand, I agree that the wait has given me time to prepare. Waiting for approval will hinge mainly on your insurance but if your surgeon's office has good insurance staff it will definitely help. Talk to them to make sure everything is in order. Depending on your surgeon's patient load, March might very well work for you! Keep us posted and again, congrats & 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.
