I feel like everyone on here has been scheduled for months! My doctor gets you in within a few weeks once everything is settled. I would actually have had it in July but I am dealing with work short term disability. I swear that is the worst part! The tests were fine, I didnt have to do any 6 month plan. Insurance approved it within like 3 days, but its short term disability! Seriously agravating. But I am also in a musical that ends on July 29th so I have to wait till my contract for that ended anyways :)

I'm in the same situation. I had a record of weight for six months and insurance approval in less then a week. Could have the surgery in early June. I'm a teacher and waiting for summe school to end. We are very lucky. Some have to wait months for insurance to deny them and go through appeals out get it done out of state or in Mexico. Good luck to you.

Hi all! I am the very last of the month I see! August 31 with Dr. Kelly in MX. Not a friendly office environment so time off work is difficult - I have to use the labor day holiday for one of my days. Sure hope I'm up to returning ASAP because I don't have a choice.

I feel so behind reading all of your posts, I am truly not thinking about it nearly so much and had not planned to be ordering the Protein or packing until a week or so out! Or in my case ordering online as I sit in my bed post-op! :)

Not sure yet if my husband will be joining me, I waiver on wether or not I even want him to, just that I want him to want to!

I'm glad to meet you all!

      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.
