Hi All,

I am so excited I can hardly breath. My surgery was previously set for April 16th. Today I was informed I have been approved by insurance and date bumped up to March 7th. I start the liquid diet in six days. I am just beside myself. I seriously didn't expect to be approved. Don't ask me why...guess it is just my luck, but today when I got the call, I started crying. I have wanted this for so long and I did everything I was told.

I would love it if there are any other March 7th sleevers that would like a support companion as we go through this journey together.

Good luck to us all.

Major hugs of excitement.

Kriss

I know the excitement that you are feeling. I called my insurance yesterday evening and was told that I was approved. But, this morning, I had to call back and just make sure. Lol.....I started my preop diet before I was approved because my surgeon had an earlier opening. My surgery will be this next Thursday, the 21st. I am really anxious. Good luck to you and congratulations!!

Well thank you very much! I will be sure to post how it all went. It just kind of seems unreal right now. I had planned to go to Mexico if my insurance didn't approve it. I really feel a sense of relief knowing I get to stay here close to home. Where are you located krissj?

Congrats!! That is great! I am going to MX and having mine 3/7!! I decided not to fight with the insurance company and try a peer to peer.

      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.
