The NERVE of her having a private personal life!!! Doesn't she know she should be there to cater to all our needs! Hmmphh! LOL!!!!! :lol:

Okay that being said...I am sorry you have to wait....I think this waiting for the office to call and jumping through hoops is infuriating. And even though all the post op folks tell me that this will seem like a blur when I look back, living through it can be exasperating!

Hang in there! My thoughts are with you!

I KNOW!!!!!! Doesn't she know how high maintenance pre ops are???????? She should!!!!! She's been doing this for a while!!! I'm frustrated, but I know this will all happen soon enough! Thanks for the encouragement! At what age do we get patience? Cuz I sure don't have it yet! :P

I went through the same exact thing! I got approved for surgery Friday, June 17 and all that I needed before scheduling was a final sign-off from my surgeon. Turns out, he left for vacation that day and didn't get back until the 27th. Dang personal lives!!

So no one else in the office schedules surgeries while she is out? That is crazy.

ROFL!!! Guido! ha ha ha! Hopefully it will just be Friday. I'm just hoping to still get July 22. I start Vet tech classes August 28th and I want to be completely healed before then. I want to be clear to do all I need to do by then. So, that is about 5 weeks from the 22. Ya'll keep your fingers crossed for me! Yeah, I thought it strange that no one else could schedule too! :/

Wow...welcome to my world.. first the doc went on vacation before he wrote my letter.. that was a week, then I get the approval in 4 days and get the call... and she says... "a scheduler will call you next week"... I'm still waiting and wondering why the heck she couldn't just schedule me herself right then.. Good luck getting the date you want...mine is gonna be a month later than I wanted :( That is if it isn't booked up by the time the "scheduler" gets around to calling me.

      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.
