Newme- I understand how you feel...there is a lot of waiting. I received my pre-op testing letter about 1.5 weeks after they received the approval letter from the ins. That was about 2 weeks after I received verbal approval from the ins company. What day did you receive ur approval? With the holiday yesterday maybe that slowed everything a little. I have my final pre-op appt on Monday the 3rd so wondering how long it will be for a date.

I received my verbal approval on the 17th, and my actual approval letter the next day on the 18th. I guess when I look at it that way, it has just been a full business week. Lol. I can't help but be excited to move forward :)

Is it this Tuesday? I was thinking it was the 2nd Tuesday of the month. I'll be out of town for work so won't be able to make it. I'm planning on going to a group this month but just not sure which one. Thought it would be nice to see a friendly face :).

I will be having my surgery by Dr. Cooper in Seymour, he does the robotic surgery , I'm just glad it will be near home. Does everyone go through the robotic surgery?? Still waiting to find out when, I been trying to do this since January . I think they ran me every test the could think of, heart Cather etc etc etc. all my steps are done. But at the same time I wonder if its the surgery that will help me loose the weight and keep it off, and help me subdue my hunger. I hate having a plate stack up high with food, eating it and filling full but five minutes later I'm starved . I just hopes it helps with this, I been fight my weight since 2000,

Hey hey! I'm from Scottsburg and Coop did my surgery too. Due to scheduling, he didn't use DaVinci on me. Schneck is a wonderful place. I actually ended up having a leak (not his fault or mine, it was a faulty staple) and I spent a month in 2N. The nurses are wonderful :)

      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.
