Just received a call from my surgeons office, she called to tell me that medicare and medicaid has approved the sleeve gastrectomy but has to wait for a submission date so she can submit my paper work.. But yes it is approved!! I'm so excited!! I'm in Philadelphia for those who are in near by states..

Thanks.. I waited cause I originally was looking into the bypass and chickened out and when I recently started looking again I came across the sleeve which was much more safer for me...

I am so happy for you! When I read Medicare/Medicaid is now covering the sleeve I was soooo thrilled!

Now I have to take care of some things before we can process the paper work, but I think I am getting

closer each day. I hope!

      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.
