I think that would be worse, having a date then losing it. I'm glad we haven't done that! Progress forward is my mantra!

Well saw my PCP today and faxed in the new paperwork my insurance needed. WE'll see if the 7/11 date is a go! I sure hope so!

Good luck losing! I called insurance today and none of information they had was right. Prolly why I was denied! Second call was a message to surgeon to figure out what's up. Sometimes I wonder whose working at the insurance company

I hear you there eg. I'm going to have to call my insurance company to find out if they have everything they need and to see if they've given approval or not. I have a date for July 11, I sure hope it's not another let down. Thinking if I call I can plead my own case as well and being that my full time job is dealing with insurance companies I know for a fact if the patient calls, they can sometimes get further with the company than the doctors can. We'll see. Still have my fingers crossed! I really need this to help me lose weight. My lapband was a wonderful tool and helped quite a bit until it slipped TWICE!

      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.
