So today I found out that the hospital I work at' date=' now has the sleeve covered under the insurance. It is 5000. I am paying 9800. I almost stopped the process and delay my surgery. I was going to go through my company's incsurace. That would delay my surgery for 3-6 months. I know that my mind was made up in April and I wanted to go with the original plan. My knees and ankle need that 3-6 months of weight loss to help them to heal. I felt a little guilty for finding this out this late in the game and I wanted to discuss it with my husband. I told my husband about it and to my surprise he said "have your surgery on Monday ". I was so happy we were on the same page. We usually are and that is why we have been together for 26 years. Married 23. He sees me hurting and not being able to do the things I used to do. I can't chase after the grand girls or even get on the floor and play with them. Before I could drop it like its hot now I drop it pretty fast but getting ups is slow, very slow. I can't wait to be able to dance again. I miss going to the gym and working our for hours. I miss going up 10 flights of stairs. I miss my old life. I hope to be up and running soon.[/quote']

Good for you, I am there with you..I cannot wait to do all the things I used to do! Maybe you can get your insurance to reimburse you some of it now that they cover it?

I'm sorry y'all... Day 4 of my pre op diet. No food. Just Protein Shakes & Water & I'm really hungry. I know I'm doing this for a very good reason but I'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY frigging hungry & obsessing about food!!! All the self talk in the world isn't stopping my tummy from rumbling. I'm drinking 4-5 Protein shakes a day. And a lake full of water...

      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.
