I just got word from my Dr.'s off ice they have my psych eval and the records from my first lapband(I am using a different surgeon). They are submitting to the insurance company today. I now just have to let them do their thing and wait. I hope 1 it wont be too long and two that it gets approved.

When I spoke to the ins. person at the clinic she says it has been taking about two weeks for revision approvals. I am so ready to have this band removed and get a sleeve.

Waiting for the approval is the worst, I was lucky, once they submitted all of my paperwork to the insurance company I was approved in 3 days - Hang in there, try not to think about it, and it will happen before you know it :)

Keep us posted on the outcome!

This is so true.. I hate waiting and those that know me, I have a hard time with things I can not control myself. I will wait though.. do you mind me asking were you a revision or is this your first WLS? 3 days is excellent and I will def. keep everyone posted!

      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.
