Ok so I've been seeing some posts about people getting their rny date befor they finished all their pre recs can I do that too ? I thought you had to have everything together then make your final appt with the doc all I have left is my phys eval which is scheduled for Tuesday and to see the nutritionist that's it. So I just wanna know what y'all did?

I had to have everything done and have insurance approval before I got a date (September 10). I've also seen people on here that got dates early then had to change them because they didn't get insurance approval in time. I wouldn't want that disappointment. Don't rush it. It will all work out in time. Just KNOW all of your requirements and complete them exactly how your insurance wants them. I had to change doctors and go through the process twice because my first doctor's office ignored a BIG requirement even though I told them (hospital had to be a center of excellence for Cigna, not the doctor). Second doctor (and different hospital) has been a blessing in disguise and smooth sailing! Hang in there!

      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?

      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.
