Called my insurance company today to check on the status of my case and was given the best news. I've been approved!!!!! OMG!!! I never thought I'd be soo happy. Called my surgeons office and they said they hadn't heard anything but will call me ASAP when they eat the green light. I don't know why they (the insurance company) calls when you get denied but when it's approved they send a letter snail mail. But anyways I'm excited and can't wait to schedule my surgery :-)

Woo hoo!! Congrats! I got that call on 5/27, got scheduled on 6/3 and sleeved on 6/26....I choose to wait until after my son's lacrosse tournaments were over, to have mine, so I had to wait 2 extra weeks but it gave me time to be sure everything was lined up for after........GOOD LUCK!!!

I had time set aside in August from work so I'm hoping they will give me a date then. I know it's going to be here before I know it. I could probably do it sooner but we have soo many things going on in July that waiting would be best. Thanks everyone. I want to shout it from the rooftops but ill wait till I have an actual date:-) looking forward to being healthier and cold.

      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.
