So, my surgeon's office FINALLY received all of my paperwork from my Dr on Friday, and sent it off to my insurance company today!! (finished my six month diet on June 4th). They told me it could take up to 30 days to hear a decision, but I'm really hoping it doesn't take that long!! Fingers crossed for an easy approval!

I was just like you. I finished my supervised diet Friday (6/14) I Didn't trust my GP nurse to fax the paperwork to my surgeon so I did it myself. The surgeon contacted insurance Monday, and I called the insurance today to make sure the paperwork was submitted and I was already approved!

Call the insurance and ask about the status of your paperwork. I did and I was already approved! Apparently most (like mine) mail you a letter in 7-10 business days..ugh

      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.
