Sorry msk, different Buffalo :-(. I went to the University of Colorado at Boulder. Mascot Buffalo. But it's always nice to remember home. Glad I reminded you of something nice :-)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I called today and they just said pending and reminded me that they have 15 days to reply bariatric surgery approvals. I am worried my 10/29 date will be pushed back a week or two. The Dr.'s office said if no response by Friday we will have to postpone. :(

Hopefully you will get your response by then! Wow my doctor would not set a date until the received the letter off approval from insurance I got it faxed to them that's how I ended up getting my date.

I would keep calling and let them know you already have a set date apply some pressure!

      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.
