I go for my last group meeting, and meet with my surgeon on Thursday. I'm hoping for surgery to be the week before Christmas in Hershey, PA.

I'm a little nervous about insurance. This is my 2nd time through the pre process, due to insurance denial the first time (my policy didn't cover wls, even though I was told it would when I started). The only issues I have are my weight obviously, high blood pressure, and back problems. Does anyone know anyone that has been turned down because they were you healthy?

That is what I am worried about (denial due to being healthy just morbidly obese). I do not have any co morbidities that I am diagnosed with, I believe I have sleep apnea, borderline high BP, joint issues and i know for sure i have Polycystic ovarian syndrome but that isn't considered a morbidity.

I was approved and I only have hypothyroid (under active thyroid) and sleep apnea. And obviously a high BMI. Morbidly obese. I think you have to prove so many years of failed diets.

      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.
