Is there one or does he book up fast? Is it unreasonable to get in with in a month or sooner? Calling but curious!

I did. He had a lot of patients but really took his time in discussing things:). Would highly recommend him:)

When I booked a week ago, (I'm March 28), Alma said it's a busy time of year with ppl getting their tax refunds back. They like to schedule only 4 surgeries/day. But you'll just have to call and see. Good luck!

It's prob good so my airline ticket won't be too bad! In excited! That is awesome that there will be some of you there too! She said there is some the first week of March available, but booked up besides that which is good!! It gives me time to plan! I was waiting on my ins to deny me or approve me but found out I would be paying 4700 out of pocket if approved and then the us surgeon would be 2 months out!!So decided on MX!

Yay! So you have decided to get the MX route after all? I'm still in shock over BCBS of AL.

      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.
