During the the 6 mos. it does seem as though you won't be approved - but once your last appointment is over with it seems like everything happens over night after that. Prayer really is a positive tool. I was approved approx. a week after 6th appointment and the next day my surgery was scheduled for the 28th. I'm on the pre-op diet! Everything will work out like its supposed to. I can so relate to where you are - I have been struggling with my weight in and out of doctors' offices for years as well as the 6 months of appointments just to get approved. Good luck!

I have my surgery penciled in for April 22 ( 2 days before my birthday).. Just because i have to do my work schedule 2 months in advance. Have talked in depth with my dietician and she sees no reason for me not to be approved... But final say is up to insurance.. Figured a month would give me plenty of time if i have to appeal or supply more paperwork.

      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?

      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.
