I just called my insurance and found out I'm approved for the sleeve! I had to call the surgeon's office and tell them and they scheduled me right away: JANUARY 9, 2012 is my day! Now I'm a little scared but excited too. I have pre-op on Jan 5 and they're mailing me all the info today. I can't wait!

I can't wait to get the packet of info... should be huge! I ran a couple errands and bought the first surgery take-along: gas-x strips! I've seen a few people post that they're good to have.

I actually got another gift- my insurance company finally caved and paid for my copay for the Dr. they sent me to and then said I couldn't use. It was only $28, but I took time off to go to another seminar and then first appointment only to find out I couldn't have surgery at that place!

And my Christmas cards just came. I should buy a lottery ticket!

Congratulations!! It will be here before you know it! Waiting for the approval was the hardest part for me, it was all downhill (in the best of ways of course!) from there :D

      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.
