So i just got the call confirming surgery dates for both my MIL and I and although we have dates set up we now await Insurance approval according to my doctors office we both should be fine with the insurance it just worries me because even though my BMI is 42 and i have PCOS and we both have hiatal hernias i keep having that thought that something will go wrong or that it won't be enough for the insurance to approve me =( They put me down for September 10th and my MIL will be on the 17th .....omggggg i am soooo nervous this is just around the corner so many thoughts and worries i just can't wait till its all over and done with my MIL in starting to talk like she wants to back out she wanted to try to cut through shortcuts and get out of her sleep apnea study and i kept telling her that even though i didn't have to have it done if the doc ordered it for her then its a must because i've read that it crucial for monitering her while in surgery if she does have it.....it's been such an emotional roller coaster between getting her appointments done and my own she doesn't speak english sooo i have to travel an hour to get both her appointments done and my own every time we have one sometimes i just wanna sit down in a corner and cry because its overwhelming its sooo much between all the appointments for both, homeschooling my babies 3 of them they start school tomorrow and church my husband and i are pastors =) sooo yeah got alot going on in my plate right now but at the same time am very excited! If anyone can tell me if a BMI of 42 and PCOS got them approved i'd greatly appreciate you sharing your story i know most likely it will be different insurances i just wanna have know if there is hope that i'll get approved? Thanks ya'll my prayers and best wishes to all September sleevers and upcoming as well ;)

I have a BMI of 41.2 and high blood pressure, arthritis and sleep apnea. I was approved with no problem. My insurance stated their requirements and I followed them to the letter. I am scheduled for surgery on Sept 24.

      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.
