100 calls later and I'm still optimistic for my July 15th surgery date. I was down 10lbs but now I'm only down 5. :( I will hear from the insurance coordinator tomorrow afternoon whether or not my surgery is still a go!! Putting myself on a full liquid diet starting in the a.m. And praying for a positive out come!!

I still can't believe one coordinator told me I was 100% covered with no out of pocket expenses and another calls a week and a half before surgery to tell me I have to pay 2,700 dollars up front!!!!!

That is a lack of communication if ever I heard one! That is awful and downright sad. I hope all is a go here for you real soon.

Major lack of communication!! I was crushed. My whole family was crushed. But the coordinator I'm speaking to now is pretty sure she can find me some wiggle room with 1,000 dollars up front and payment plan the rest.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high... But, a person can't possibly have this much bad luck can they? Lol

*fingers crossed*

Wow!! Talk about bashing the family budget!! I am a firm believer that if you want something done right you need to do it yourself. (Yes, I seem to want to control everything, but can't control my weight without surgical intervention.) It never fails that I need to re-do most of what someone else is getting paid to do. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything works out for you!!

      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.
