Been waiting since April when my Cardiologist finally agreed to sign off on this. I still have 2 more medically supervised weight loss visits before they can even submit to the insurance company. I keep reading how fast it goes but I just don't feel that way.

I'm in the waiting zone too and I can't stand it. I could probably understand it if I were waiting for appointments. But, I got through all of the requirements rather quickly. I'm pretty much waiting for the doctors to catch up. One never put notes in my record, then went on vacation, so I had to see another Cardiologist. Then, my Psych wasn't a Psych. She signed off on my surgery; but wasn't authorized to because she's a LCSW. So, I ended up having to go back to see an actual Psych and now I'm waiting for his notes. It sucks b/c I thought I did everything right and met with my surgeon 3-weeks ago to get my date only to be sent back to the drawing board.

I feel your pain. The wait is agonizing! Good luck!

Waiting, I believe, is the hardest part- of pre op anyway. Hang in there- when you have your date you'll have something to look forward to and prep for :)

      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.
