Hello all. I need all the prayers you guys can send my way. I've had a very intense week ( and is only Wednesday). Starting by the fact that the cardiologist took forever to give me the clearance and of course I was thinking the worse, having a surgery schedule for December 27th I was hysterical. Things got better yesterday evening when FINALLY the

cardiologist and the PCP sent the paper to my surgeon. This morning I called the surgeons office to make sure everything was in order and the coordinator informed me that the paperwork was going to be submitted today but that he can't guarantee that I will get approved before the 27th, that most likely my surgery was going to be postponed. OH LORD HAVE MERCY I already asked for time off ( they approved me cause is low season) and I already have everything ready for the 27th ???? Please pray for me to get the Approval on time. I really need the surgery.. By the way I have Cigna.. Any experience you would like to share??? How long does it take to get Approved ??

Just keep calling your insurance company, and if they tell you it's approved call the surgeon's office immediately and schedule. Don't want to get lost in the shuffle....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.
