I was submitted March 20th. Found out today there in the middle of a peer to peer review. I should know the decision tomorrow afternoon. I am so afraid excited happy nervous all at the same time. I cried this weekend thinking about what an approval would mean to me. Just humbled and happy. Alot of emotions I know.

UGH it was submitted March 6, so really March 8- I called today and my clinic said it was submitted and accepted and pending approval/rejection. I called the bariatric coordinator and it wasn't submitted because I am not enrolled in their DEERS program- she said she would call my place and get my info to get me into their DEERS system so they could see my referral and get back to me. I was penciled in for my first mandatory class next week but now I guess I can forget that but it is a few hours away so I can't just get a call the morning of! I am holding out hope however...

How are you feeling? Anything you have learned that you wish someone would have told you? Or anything you wish you would have taken to the hospital?

I am doing great! The only things I needed at the hospital was a change of clothes to go to and from the hospital. Baby wipes phone and phone charger. I didnt need anything else. The only thing I have learned so far, was definitely everyone is different. I have had no nausea no problems with food or drinking. I was so prepared that I would hardly be able to drink and so scared of the barium for the leak test. But I handle all well. But I was prepared for it for sure!

      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.
