I called her everyday for a week to tell her they had the wrong fax number for my insurance and she never returned one call. My husband got fed up and one day he called her every 10 minutes until she answered. She left me a voicemail earlier today but now won't call me back since I returned her call. When is your surgery?

Ugh! Still waiting in pre-op. My surgery was supposed to be at 2 today. I'm number 3. Apparently 1&2 took much longer than predicted.

Hi everyone! Surgery was scheduled for 10 am but actually got taken back at 930am. Everything went well and right now just weak and tired. Pain level is about a 4 but my medicine trigger/buzzer had been my best friend....lol. I am officially on the losers bench.

Woohoo!!! Finally got my surgery date and it's in October!!!! I was beginning to freak out because the surgeons office seemed to be dragging their feet. My date is October 23rd!!! Anyone share that date with me? I had my labs/chest X-ray/EKG/pre-admission done today and my class is Monday! So excited that I don't have to switch to the November thread!

      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.
