Yes, I have an appt with my surgeon on Monday. Finished all my consults, now I go see him on Monday and then have to wait the insurance. I'm scared to death they won't cover it. I think they are the most nerve wracking. Good Luck with your date!!!

I'm here with you. I just completed my last month on the supervised diet that my insurance required me to do. Now I'm just waiting to be seen by my surgeon and the insurance decision. I'm soooooo nervous that the insurance company will deny me as well. But I'm hopeful.

I was all set to go. I had completed all of the required tests and classes and had my surgery date set for July 30th and BAM!!! My doctor is not in my network? How can that happen if I've been seeing him for months? Still trying to work it out! So frustrating. Makes me think about giving up on the whole thing!

I was so there just a few weeks ago. I obsessively checked my email and phone. It took 2 weeks to get my stuff submitted and 2 weeks for approval. I never thought it would come, but it did, and Aug 27th is around the corner.

I know this feeling all too well! I'm normally pretty patient, but this is nerve wracking!

My approval is done so I'm just waiting for the office to call me with a date. Talk about hard! I wish they'd just tell me when they think they'll call so every morning I don't wake up expecting my phone to ring.

Good luck to you! It's almost here!

I was in limbo for about 2 months. I had everything done but my PCP, changed practices before my letter was faxed to the surgeon. I had to wait till he was in his new practice, and have an appointment with him and get him to get my medicial release out. All this while working 60 hours a week drinking Protein shakes for 2 meals a day.

It is all in the past and I have my date for August 6th. I'm ready for my sleeve, and some time off from work. Woot woot!

      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.
