Medicare's rules are you have to be banded at a Center of Excellence BUT the Surgeon's who operate out of that Center of Excellence also have to take medicare if you plan to use medicare for your entire procedure. I found in my area that most of the surgeons DID NOT accept medicare, my surgeon didnt, so I had to pay the surgeon's fee's and medicare covered the hospital fee's since it was done at a Center of Excellence. That is a little bit of information medicare doesnt list on there center of excellence listing, they dont tell you that not every surgeon accepts medicare, you have to call each place that operates out of the hospital you choose to see if they accept medicare. Just wanted to share that information.

      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.
