I hope you get an answer on Friday. I found out I was approved for surgery before the bariatric coordinator did. Keep us posted.

I think I will call Aetna again tomorrow. I feel like a little kid in the back seat on a family trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I was more nervous that my insurance was going to deny me. Everything was surreal. I felt like a little kid opening gifts during Christmas, once I found out I was approved. It's a life changing surgery and I waited 10 yrs to have it.

I know the feeling. I am afraid they won't approve the surgery and I will really be depressed. But I try not to dwell on anything negative.

Today is day 6 and I am feeling really good. My doctor was Dr. Robert Davis and I believe he did a fantastic job. I have more pain from my throat and ear from the tube they put down your throat than from the surgery.

Also the hospital staff at Memorial Herman were fantastic. They treated my wife and I really well.

      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.
