There is an in-house psych eval, nurse eval, and nutritionist. I met with them in one appt. but was a three hour appt. A week later I had an appt. to meet directly with the doctor. At that point they submitted to insurance. He did do an upper endoscopy a week later to check my esophagus and stomach for ulcers but everything was fine. After approval, I was given a date about 4 weeks out. I had to do a one week liquid diet. I know that can vary for each patient. So he was booked up about a month out but that was not too bad of a waiting list. My surgery was April 2, so not sure if the wait is any longer currently. Again, I could not be happier with this location and their staff. Even though it was a half hour drive to and from his office, it has been so worth it.

      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.
