I'm 21 days away from surgery but you would think it was tomorrow! Lots of racing thoughts, trying to make sure I have everything. Already imagining the hospital gown and how I need a robe to cover my behind, lol.

I am June 25. Super excited.

I will be doing my pre-op this week on the 8th, and my insurance Gilsbar has approved everything how long will I have to wait for the actual surgery date.

It seems to vary. Some surgeon's offices give a date immidiately while others seems to wait. I am not sure what the reason for the differences are. I had been approved for almost a week before I got my date.

I took BCBS about 10 days and then my surgery was scheduled immediately. Fingers crossed for you

Happy for you, I am still waiting for insurance approval. Don't know why it is taking so long. I have been waiting for three weeks as of today. I'm sure I could be sleeved in June. So upset right now. BCBS show me some love please.

      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.
