I AM APPROVED FOR VSG!!! I posted last week about how my insurance company had initially denied me, stating I did not complete the 6 months of supervised diet (which I did). Well it went back for re-review, and was approved this morning! I am so relieved and excited and anxious...this is really happening! I spoke with the insurance coordinator at my surgeon's office, and she said someone should call me today or tomorrow to schedule surgery!

I cannot wait to join you all on the other side!

That's awesome! Congrats! I am so happy for you, and I have to say that is such a relief to hear from a fellow 6MPSWL pre-op!

Congratulations! I am glad it all worked out for you. You must be so excited. All that work for 6 months...and they denied the first time.. ARGGG but now all is well! I am still waiting approval. Spoke to the insurance person at my docs office today and she said she talked to Aetna but they wouldn't tell her anything more than she told me. She said she would try to get in contact with the nurse that was looking at my case and try to see if they would tell her where they were with it.

      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.
