Hi everyone! Add me to the list! I went to meet the surgeon today and they scheduled me for my surgery Dec 5th' date=' Hershey, PA. It was either that or January. I'm just a little worried that it is too short of a time frame for my insurance approval. Has anyone had any problems with a long wait for insurance to approve? I had to start my liquid diet as soon as I left the office. Soooo excited, but sooooo nervous.[/quote']

Woooohoooo congrats dec 5 too!!!

I know this probly sounds bad but here goes.... from the start my family has been very supportive of my choice to have this RNY surgery and has been very involved with all my apps and stuff ((like wanting to know EVERYTHING)) & now that my surgery is monday and I am so stressed and full of emotions as it is I find out that most of them want to be at the hospital with me..... And it might sound mean but this is my time for me I don't want to be stressed out by constant visitors I just want it to be me and my hubby and more than likely my mom ( I am the only child and dad passed away when I was 6) so I can't say no to her but how do I tell the others to stay away without sounding rude or mean because I know they are just trying to be supportive :(

My original surgery date was December 20th, but now it's been moved up a week, so I will be having my surgery in NC on December 13th! I am so excited! It's like I have been waiting for this my entire life. I had lapband surgery in 2009 and had nothing but problems, but I honestly think this is going to be successful and one of the greatest things to happen. I can't wait!!

I completely understand what you mean. I would ask my hubby to handle crowd control while I go through all of this. As people call him to ask for room info, etc. he can politely say, "I don't think she's up for visitors right now, maybe after she gets home." Besides, if he's anything like my husband he probably doesn't want all those people hanging around either!

      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.
