I was approved today. Surgeon's office called but I was at work so she emailed me and Yay!.... My co-workers think I;m a nut, " I was like Thank you Lord and smiling and everything and they were like whats going on why are you so happy" LOL! They dont know so I just said I'll tell you some other day LOL!> I meet with my surgeon on the 9th to go over my results and to schedule a date. I was thinking the week of the 30th but my cycle should be here then and I am not sure about surgery when company is in town. What do you think?

We submitted on the 2nd and approved on the 5th. I must admit I called every single day. I called to make sure they received it and entered it in on Tuesday. Wednes. I called but they had gone for the day and Thursday the lady said they should have a decision by today, it usually take 48-72 hrs. Yippie!!!

Congrats! Aunt Flo came for a visit with me last night and surgery is Monday - I had my pre-op class today so asked the nurse - she said just let someone know and don't wear a tampon :) If you are an August sleeve, make sure to stop by the 2011 August forum - we have a very large group this month :)

      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.
