Doctor's office called the Tues. morning to set me up for the Physic test and I guess other tests. I'm not sure. I know it's for 4 to 5 hours, surely I'm not that crazy. lol. Just so glad to finally get things going. Oh yeah,

my appointment is Feb. 5th in Louisville, KY. Still not sure what Dcotor. Just hope for the best.

Thank you, I need all the luck I can get. lol. I'm just so happy to finally get things going. I got my letter from the hospital this morning confirming the appt. Do you know what all they do at this appointment. Is it just the physic evaluation or are there any other tests. I just know it takes 4 hours or more.

Oh wow, I just noticed that you went for your tests in January and just had a date set for September. *crosses fingers that mine won't take that long*

Good luck to you!

I think it was just the nurse that got the ins. approved. she never contacted me back so I finally called and they had a new one within a month. Of course she never got back in contact with me I had to call her 3 or 4 times and each time she'd say she didn't have one thing or another. But I think that was a crock. This lady got me right in there. So good luck and don't let them leave you hanging like I did.

      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.
