Hello' date=' I'm Kailie.. I'm 25 I live in Michigan and I've been heavy my entire life! Have 2 children a girl 6yrs and a boy 1yr. I am 5'8" and currently 345lbs. I also battle PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) I attended my first seminar last night where the surgeon who gave the presentation only made me want the sleeve even more! He said more and more insurance companies are approving the sleeve!! Lord help me, I hope mine will!!![/quote']

Hi, we have the same stats or pretty close, I an 5'8 and weigh 330. I know what you mean, I attended my seminar in Feb and have been doing everything I had to do since then a far a records, tests, cpap compliance reports etc....just got my approval today (after a one day appeal)!!! Good luck, I look forward to following your journey! I am in Tampa, where are you?

Why!? Have your endocrinologist help out. I'm so sorry that must be so frustrating!

Hi, I was denied on Monday, filed my appeal yesterday and got approved today!!! I submitted a letter and a picture of me explaining why I want and need this surgery, some info about me, stressing my determination to do this and NOT fail. I also attached all of the medical records from the last six months....and it worked!! Hang in there, don't delay unless you have to for some reason...

      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.
