I got my date (FINALLY!)



Recommended Posts

I just got the call from the surgeon's scheduler and I'm going to be sleeved on August 24! The funny thing is, its my 1/2 birthday, so my 6 month surger-versary will fall exactly on my 35th birthday! I don't know why, but this amuses me :)

I finished my 3 month Sup. weight loss on May 24, got my approval on June 23 (Aetna only took 2 days, the rest of the delay was my screwed up surgeon's office), got scheduled for surgery July 20 (yep, another major delay by my screwed up surgeon's office - who has to wait a month to even get a freaking date!?!) and then surgery a month later, on August 24.

I can't wait!!!

Congratulations! I remember how excited I was to get my date, and the nerves that built up all the way until surgery day! I just had mine last Thursday, and am still excited! Now, it's to see the results that are to come! Good luck!!!

Congratulations, GF! Looks like things are getting done in the BG offices! I have heard from Cara a couple of times by phone and email. Medicare, as expected, declined the VSG. She has now submitted it to my secondary insurance, Aetna. I do not expect a positive response so I will probably be faced with taking the band or waiting until Medicare approves the sleeve.

I can't wait to hear everything about your journey!

      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.
