I know patience is a virtue and it will all fall into place but I just want to get my date! I received pulmonary clearance last Friday but they wouldn't send it to my Dr until I had cardiac clearance. I had something pop up on a test which after a week of hubby and I freaking out turned out to be nothing. So cardiology has sent the ok to the lung Dr that surgery was good. But now I'm waiting for the lung Dr to review that and send the pulmonary clearance in. Was hoping for yesterday but of course my Dr was not in the office to review it :-)

This has been the most stressful 4 months of my life.

That is all. Happy almost friday!!!!!

I totally understand where you are coming from. :mellow:

I had a 6 month pre-op diet then all the testing then had to gather all this info from all the doctors and get that faxed off to the insurance.

I was constatly calling the doctor's office and insurance to be sure all was going okay.

Finally Monday I got approval for the surgery but still had not heard anything about a surgery date.

I'm a planner and I just could not stand it anymore! Someone gave me the advice that the squeky weel gets the oil so I called the scheduler myself and got my date. 12/5/12! :D

Now after all that they are sending me some paperw ork and I have to see there NUT and get blood work drawn hopefully that goes smoothly and then it it's surgery time.

Hang in there I know it's rough but now you have us to support you! ;)

      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.
