AHHHH. So words can't explain how excited I am for this new chapter in my life .. I submitted just a week ago a thankfully my insurance approved me exactly one week later !! :D so thankful only thing I am concerned with is the surgical place made an error when submitting and put I wanted lap band how ever I want the sleeve they sent in a correction that day they originally submitted they dont seem to be too concerned that its a major issue because I was approved for the band they said it would just be a correction please calm my nerves ?? Lol IM SOOOO EXCITED THO I had been trying to remain level not counting my chickens before they hatch but words can't explain what the words APPROVED meant to me X) !! I'm waiting for a call for my surgery date And am already scheduled for my pre op clearance any tips prior knowledge to prepare myself more would be appreciateddd :D so so happy .

Congratulations!! It is such a feeling of relief to get the approval! I'm sure it will all work itself out. The insurance company making the determination of "medical necessity" should be the biggest hurdle I think and they already did that.

Good luck!!

      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.
