mizzchrisv My current weight is 212. I am having my sleep study done on 10/01. Which will hopefully show that I have sleep apnea so I will qualify for surgery. It's strange to hope that something is wrong with you just so the insurance will approve something that you need. I am glad that you are doing well. Dr. Chen seem nice at my initial appointment.

I had my surgery Aug. 14 with Dr. Blackstone at Scottsdale Shea. Great experience. Have not been able to make it to any of the support groups as I am a single mom and work full time. Would love to meet up with other AZ sleevers : )

Help needed from Arizona Sleevers!

I need a new PCP who is WLS friendly. I went to mine today and refuses to write me a authorization because he's had 2 patients this month with complications from the labband. I told him I wasn't having the lap band but he still refuse. I am so frustrated this was one of my final steps now I will have to,wait until,I find a new PCP .

      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.
