Had my first initial appt today with my surgeon and it went GREAT! I was so nervous about my BMI due to my family doc visit last week, but be careful what you wish for, cause my BMI is 41. lol So the family doc mustve done something wrong during that visit. I will get a call tomorrow from the insurance specialist about submission of the paperwork and then I'll be waiting for approval. I hope they are in the holiday spirit and approve me quickly! :) (pretty plz) I have to complete some EMMI online education and will start that after I get my surgery date. After approval, the process should go quite quickly. I'll have to complete 2 weeks of a pre-op diet with Nutrimed. Not cheap at about $200, but completely worth it, I think. And the the other testing, of course. I found out that he does a 34 bougie. Yeah, I didnt pronounce that right, he thought it was quite funny. lol But since Ive read a few posts mentioning it, I figured I would ask. I am so glad that everything is underway; I will be even more happy when I know that my paperwork has been submitted and extremely excited when I get approved. This is a great site and I am so glad I came across it while I was researching WLS. Thx yall! :)

Yay! Congrats! It is so exciting, yet frustrating when waiting on submission and approval, but I think when I get my approval...I just might scream. lol

      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.
