Wow! It took me about 20 min to fill out the questions. But it was pretty quick in easy! Guess I lucked out! So far everything has been do quick and easy for me' date=' I'm waiting for something to give!! When do you find out your surgery date?[/quote']

I wish it was quick and easy... Lol like I said not hard questions, but filling in 700 answer bubbles takes time.

They sent my information to I durance yesterday... So any time in the next 6 weeks I should get a call to schedule it... I'm so nervous every time my phone rings... I started with my seminar in October 2012, then had my surgeon visit in November 2012, and my first of 6 nutritionist visits in December 2012. Now I'm just waiting...

You had a lot to do! I went to the orientation on April 18. As of yesterday I'm all set with everything as far as I know. I may need to get a CT scan but they were going to check into that. I am waiting for my case coordinator to email me my dates when I meet with the surgeon. I am neurotic checking my phone every 5 seconds to see if she sent them yet!! I am hoping for a July date, she seemed to think I'd be good to go by June. I'm a teacher, so I want to wait until schools out! Can't come quick enough!

Yes! Lots and lots to do. I also had to do labs, an EKG, and a barium swallow. The barium swallow was the worst.

I also have to get clearance from my PCP after insurance approval, but before surgery. I'm just glad that the last 6 month hasn't take too long. :)

I just hope the days/weeks til I hear from insurance go by just as fast :)

If you are in the DFW area, Merrill Littenberry is by far the best to go to. Shes more than just a therapist.....truly dedicated to healthy living.....mind, body, and soul. She's also a certified personal trainer and motivational speaker. Just love her!

I did my psych eval over the phone. She asked me 20 yes or no questions and that was it. Told me I passed and to pick up my results to give to my surgeon when I meet with him.

My psyche appointment is Thursday the 17th. I hope mine isn't long. I'm going to go pick up my pre registration papers on tomorrow so they'll be already done. The insurance receptionist at the Dr. office said after that and if all goes well she'll submit the paperwork to my insurance. Hopefully I'll have a June date.

      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.
