I'm a newbie to this site. I finally finished my insurance packet for Cigna and it was submitted on my birthday 11/28 - I was approved on 12/6. Surgery date is on Jan. 25. I've had a flood of emotions from happiness to fear. I'm hope to get some support, laughs and info as I start my journey.

Hi I'm new to the board too. My papers were submitted this past Wed. I am overly anxious waiting for a response and incredibly fearful of rejection. I am obsessed with thinking about this surgery and it is actually all I think about. I started the full liquid diet at the end of November to get a head start and to be ready as soon as

the approval comes through. The wait seems

unbearable at times and I'm so sick of thinking about this 24/7 and I don't want to drive my poor husband crazy, but it's a huge decision.

Praying everybody waiting gets a quick approval and has an easy surgery. This too shall pass.

I'm very thankful for all the amazing info and support here. I think I've read every word. So inspired by you all and it feels nice to hear people speak about everything I feel. Very comforting in my very skinny world around me who don't have a clue how it feels.

Mine took just under 5 weeks to get approved. I was told that they can take up to 30 business days to make their decision. : (. Alas, it did come! Be patient and stay focused! Good luck to you!

      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.
