I am too excited to concentrate! I have been calling my Dr's office two or three times a day to find out if they had all of the required paperwork and then to see if they had submitted me to insurance. I was told on yestersday that I'd been submitted but I called the insurance company to confirm and I hadn't been. :(

I called the Dr's office AGAIN today and left a couple of messages, I got a returned call saying that they actually submitted the paperwork today. Called the insurance company and THEY HAVE THEM!!!! To my suprise they have to make a decision w/in five business days. I am truly hoping to have a decsion by the weekend but I am prepared to have to wait the full five days.

Since making my final decision of proceeding with surgery I have been excited to know that w/in a couple of months I may no longer have to deal with swollen feet and ankles, the seatbealt poking me in my butt and all the other issues that come with being overweight.

      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.
