I had to my doctor and like I said we talked about my weight and things I was doing to help lose weight but she

said I am best going to Dr for surgery and follow their program I could scream because I think I would get approved at

least a month earlier but oh well.

ZebraSprinkles, Congrats on getting your date! After I get my insurance approval, I won't get to see the surgeon for maybe a month and then the date will be about another month!!! For me it's all too slow!

September 10 is just around the corner! Going to the losers bench. YAY!!

Yay funsize! You'll be joining me soon! If I can make it.. lol damn anxiety!

I am only about an hour from Toledo in nw Ohio. My mom and brother live in Toledo! Well I'm in the beginning stages, but pretty excited that I got my pcps approval today! One more thing checked off the list, now onto the psych eval! Once that is done how much longer should it take to start classes?

Jessielynn, I think easch insurance is different. I had to do 6 months of nutricional counseling. They count your first visit as one month (go figure) so it's really only 5 months. My last class is 9/17. Then they will submit it to insurance. That should take two weeks. I'm getting excited.

Where are you? Where will you have your sleeve done?

Hey Stephanie!

OH MY GOSH I'm not doing to hot on the pre-op diet.. lol ( but it really could be because I'm type 2 and not used to such a drastic change in diet) But I'm nauseous all the time and tired. lol I'm only on day 3 though so I'm sure I'm just adjusting to the food! but I'm staying positive and hanging in there! awww one year old twins!! ( I'm jelly! lol another reason I want surgery to be able to have kids! :) ) But once you get to the pre op diet... some of that food is soooo nasty! but they are super nice and let you trade food back in.. I just got a lot of the drinks.. but keep me updated chica!

I am also a patient of Dr. Curry's and live in burbs north of Cincy. I has my 3hr meeting with him and his team on 8/8 and got my approval letter on 8/25. My scope is 9/5 and hopefully surgery date very soon. Very anxious and excited at the same time.

      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.
