I had approval in 24 hours. You could easily have surgery in less than 3 months. :-)

Well keeping my fingers cross would love to be scheduled in Nov-Dec since the only thing I left to do is my surgeon consult, and pay the balance on my program fee...

Dr. Weiss IS pretty to look at, but it is his sincerity and confidence that I find most attractive. I haven't seen him since the day I was released from the hopsital, but should I ever get to face him again, I want to hug him as hard as I can!

newnew13, I was self pay (insurance doesn't cover any WLS), so I didn't have to wait for an approval, but I did the surgeon's consult and i had surgery 9 days later! So if your approval goes through, you should surely be good to go before the new year...good luck! Oh, and yes, Dr. Weiss is easy on the eyes ;)

Is there anyone on here in Kentucky that has either been sleeved or going through the process? I am in central Kentucky and it would be nice to have someone to chat with or text when I have questions or struggles. I know several people that have had gastric bypass and lap band but none that have been sleeved.

I'm not from KY but Southern IN, fairly close to Louisville. I haven't been sleeves yet but I'm one nut appointment away from sending everything off to insurance :)

      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.
