They drag their feet. I had to do a 6 months supervised diet which took forever and now I need to meet with a nutrionist, a nurse, and a mental health person. Then I can submit all my stuff to the insurance. I am just waiting for the hospital to call me to schedule my appt so see the people.

just off the phone from my own dr, there is a staff shortage in the hospital there is a 6 to 12mts wait for some of the test, she said that even to call me into our local hospital for some of those test still could take 6 to 12mts, but the dietican is to ring me during the week about starting me on the milk diet so i still am no close than yesterday

Wow 6 to 12 months, that is just ridiculous. I am still in the same spot too I haven't called the hospital yet. I am trying to give them a chance. I will call them by the time I leave work.

I feel like a stalker calling each day and it's a shame we have to harrass these people. When I go on my break I am going to call them.

That's true, just called the hospital they have appts as early as next week but they still need to put all my information in the system. Maybe if I keep calling they will do the work.

      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.
