Got Approved today but now I am nervous!



Recommended Posts

So I got a call from the surgery coordinator telling me I was approved. After 6 long months, so many different appointments and a mixture of emotions.. I am approved. I scheduled my surgery for February 14th.. It's ok because I don't have a Valentine but I'm sure I will have plenty after the procedure????. Now I need some if you inspirational people to convince me that everything will be ok and that this is a great decision.... Helllppp

It is great that you were approved! If this surgery is what YOU want, then you are making the right decision! If you have a husband and child, then their concerns should be thought out, but overall, you need to decide if it is right for you! So, good luck! Make sure to keep us posted!

Congrats on your approval! I received mine a few weeks ago. I'm scheduled for surgery January 30th and Wednesday when I started the pre-op diet it hit me as well. I've thought about this surgery a million times and am confident in my decision but as it gets closer (after such a long process!) I think it is natural to be nervous and be doubting yourself. Just rely on whatever motivated you through all the pre-op appointments!

      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.
