I received my date today-surgery is scheduled for 1/10/13. Am I excited? Well yes as a matter of fact I am. But this is the 3rd date I've been given, so I'm more scared that I'm going to get another, "I'm sorry but..." from my dr.s office. I've already heard "I'm sorry but you weren't approved" once, (at my pre-op appointment no less) and then, "I'm sorry but we need to change your date". That was the call I got last week once I finally got approved. Now I have a new date, 3rd time's a charm? I want a ticker at the bottom of my page-to do the happy dance-to be so excited-but I'm scared it's too good to be true, and it won't happen for me.

5 weeks-yikes...that's a long time to wait for the other shoe to drop. I guess I'll relax when I'm in the hospital bed right?

hi there, i can only imagine what a hard time you have been going through with you pending WLS - frustrating to hear one thing then a change, then.............hopefully this time will do it

all the waiting, and "annoyances" will be worth it - you'll find that out

having the sleeve has changed my life - my health and happiness :)

after 20 years, no more diabetes meds/insulin - no more blood pressure meds, no more CPAP

you'll gradually see the many benefits of WLS - hopefully this time will do it, i think 3rd time is a charm!!!!! How about saying "a charmed life?" ;)

Here's to a brand new happy new year - starting DOS 1/10/13 - first day of the rest of your life

good luck

yes-that's what i was told this time. although i'm going to ask for a copy of the approval. the 2nd change was due to the dr.s schedule, not insurance. hoping all is good now! :)

      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.
