I know I don't have room to complain but just need to vent for a minute. I've gone through all my requirements (have been working on it for months now)...I finished my last requirement last Thursday and confirmed yesterday that the Dr. sent his letter to my drs. Now my file has to go through a final review with the "panel"....and that was supposed to happen today.....but my drs office is horrible about returning calls and communicating with me. I presume they're busy and I get that but I'm soooooo tired of doing everything I'm supposed to and then not having feedback. I know its just a matter of time at this point....I've got my insurance approval and all the sign offs from everyone. I have no reason to think I won't be approved unless I don't pass my preop.....and I have NO clue what that involves at this point. I'm really trying to get this surgery in this year as my insurance is changing next year....just feeling so discouraged at this point....hurry up and wait......sorry, just feeling very down tonight for some reason....its all good and I know I need to be patient....just wish someone was advocating for me at this point :) Thanks for listening

Really all you can do is wait, that s what really sucks. At least you have several good points that are working in your favor. Hopefully the ball will start rolling for you very soon. Sometimes waiting can be a good thing. If you are at the end of hoops you should have good news. Keep us informed. I was tired of waiting and as my surgery date approached I was still tired. I feel that it happen at the right time. Now the wait for surgery is over and the weight loss wait begins.

      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?

      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.
