That is good to hear! I had self pay, but I have seen so many people struggle so hard with their insurance (although nothing like this should be taken lightly by an insurance company)!

Good luck! Keep us informed!

Congrats! I know it is so exciting when you get approve. You will be fine and feel great shortly after your surgery. I know everyone is diferent but at least you will be able to get up and walk and move around. The first couple of days are not that great but it does get better. No one told me about the gas they use to blow up your tummy to see what they need to see so I would say that keeping it real and telling you that it is going to not feel good is what I would impart to you as I wish I would have know about that. It lasted for about 2 days and they tell you to just walk and walk and walk.

      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.
