You know we already dread waiting the 6 or 7 mo to do all this hoop jumping but to have to wait for a Dr. To just sign an evaluation and fax it over is just ridiculous. I had my Pysc eval on the 11th and she said they would have it faxed by the end if the week....well guess what no she didn't. Know a 1 1/2 week later dr Dr. Is out til Saturday and then he may sign it and fax it. HELLO you would think the nurse that did the evaluation would know how important and how anxious I am being that she had WLS a few years ago. Just had to vent, I guess another week won't kill me but I sure don't like it...

I remember wishing every day was surgery day for months... the time did go by quick though and now I'm 2 months post-op and it feels like my surgery was a long time ago...

Hang in there!

I understand your frustration... I think we all do... I hated the hoop jumping.. You know what annoyed me the most? Was having to spend the night in the hospital for the sleep apnea test. OMG I wanted to pluck out those peoples eyelashes one by one lol! Hang in there it will happen before you know it!!

Oh well I'm just sssooooo ready to hv this done and start my "new" life

They probably already have you penciled in on their schedule and know the time needed to get the insurance approval done so are getting to it as needed. The numbers of these is rising quickly so they pace themselves as needed.

Maybe your right. I did call my coordinator and she said that is all she is waiting on so maybe she will get it Monday.

      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.
