I'm scheduled for September 4th. I feel like it's coming up really fast. I went to the information session for my surgeon's practice on June 21st (I had to look it up today) and they said with luck it might get squeezed in before the end of the year. And here I am, just three weeks from the day.

There's a squirrel in the back of my head, yelling "hold on - slow down!" I won't, of course, but the thought is there.

I'm not sure who you're asking littleperson?... so I'll just jum in lol!

I'm not having an EGD. Or at least I haven't been scheduled for one. Is an EGD standard? I had an endoscopy a couple of months ago, just before I buckled down and got serious about VSG. My surgeon got a copy of that report and pictures from that fun event.

How long have you all been workin on this? Getting through the approval process, I mean?

EGD - is endoscopy. and I think most of the doctors are required it.

      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.
