April Dates



Recommended Posts

Honestly' date=' I probably haven't been waiting very long.I started the process in mid January and had first official visit in February to the surgeon. Everything was turned in on the 14th of March, but Dr. office didn't open up a case with the insurance company until the 22nd of March. They have 15 days to deny or approve.

It's like watching a pot boil....it just seems to take so much longer. I am just so ready to get a date on the calendar. I feel like everything else is on hold until I have a date..[/quote']

I had my first appointment in January and after psych clearance and seeing the nut they requested auth from the ins. I was notified of the approval in mid Feb. I was hoping for a march date, but the earliest open slot for the surgery was 4/8.

Woke up this morning with a sore throat. For the last two months, I have bee sick on and off. A cold front came in last night so I imagine that's why my throat is sore.... do you think I will have to push back my surgery?

I didn't need the PFT for clearance i had to go to the pulm. Because of the nodule on my lung

Yea I definitely understand that. I just meant they will be able to figure it out from the pft.

Good luck to all new surgeries today and good headings thoughts for all of the new people sitting on the losers bench! Surgery in 5 days!! Had pre-op yesterday. All is good and I lost 12lbs on my liquid diet over the past 2 weeks! It is VERY manageable and when you keep looking forward to what our goals are, it makes it easier. It is also a great help seeing everyone else that is on the same journey. Stay strong and keep strong. WE can do 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.
