December seems so far away! I haven't been approved yet but' date=' I am hoping since my last weigh in is December 5th my insurance will approve it in time for me to be sleeved by the end of December. Anyone one else out there not yet approved and hoping for a December sleeve? I see quite a few people already have their December date. How did your date get scheduled out so far in advance? My Dr. probably won't even try to schedule me until my insurance gives the OK.[/quote']

I am hoping for a December date but am skeptical. I have my fourth NUT next week, the Psych at end of Oct. I did get a letter from Orthopedic stating a recommendation for weight loss surgery. Hoping Insurance approval will be kind and quick!

I guess when December gets closer we will be more excited. To me right now it just feels like the waiting game. When I actually see an approved paper. Then I will believe it's real :wacko: .

I am scheduled for Dec 9th. I'm so excited to finally get this started. I had Lapband Jan 2009. I lost almost 90 pounds then had a slip and revision surgery in May 2010. Then I started having problems again and had it removed in March 2012. I've since gained all the weight back that I previously lost (that has been pretty devastating!). I can't wait to get on the losing track again.

That must have been very disheartening for you, to have so much success and then have the lap band become ineffective. I read so many posts regarding the band and it being so unsuccessful.

Welcome to the December sleeve group! :D

I have started to follow some of the healthier eating patterns that we'll have to adhere to after the surgery. I found an online store that has a great selection. BariatricChoice.com offers a lot of incentives and reward credits. You will receive $20 off your order of $40

or more. It is a secure site . I was able to get $20

off my first purchase of $40 or more. You immediately begin saving and can

get more for your money. You will also receive

$20 in reward credits for anyone you refer that orders from bariatricchoice.com. I ordered the 2lb

canister of Roadside Lemonade Syntrax nectar

Protein drink and the Ostrim Natural

beef sticks, and Chocolite bars and instantly

received my $20 off plus free shipping. My

grand total after the credit was $36.36. For

everything.. Anyone who knows about the

Syntrax

nectar, knows it $36.99 by itself. So I'm

extending a referral to anyone that

wants to order from them. You will not be

disappointed.

Just go to: https://www.bariatri...efer/id/112948/

and use the referral code: 8696996

      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.
