I live in Beloit, WI, but will be going through Froedtert in Milwaukee. I don't have a date yet, because I have to lose 27 pounds before Dr. Gould will do the surgery. Otherwise, I'm done with all of my pre-op appointments.

Well hi there! Welcome and congratulations :) I was just waiting for my insurance last approval but now they say VSG is not a covered service even though my Dr office called and had it approved. So I do not know where I stand at this point ither than SUPER disappointed,angry,sad etc. There is no other option for me. I refuse to have bypass and lapband will be too much running back and forth for fills over hour away.

Well keep in touch as we are really close(I am about 5 miles from Beloit) I use Rockford as a base as most people don't know my little podunk town ha.

Tstorm my appointment went good and she wants to go ahead with all the testing, so now I'm waiting for the referral sent to the insurance company to be accepted and I can move on to the next steps.

      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.
