so how long is everyone taking off?

I'm taking two weeks... if I need more, I'll add some days. But I don't see it as necessary if all goes well because I have a desk job.

I'm taking off 2 1/2 weeks maybe 3. But I'm a hairdresser at a very busy salon. I only get a break if there isn't a client so I decided I didn't want to go back till I was 100% again. Plus being that I'm the 17th I figured I would just go back after the kids go back.

My surgeon and his office seem confident I will have my surgery before the end of the year. I still have my psych eval and then final approval from my insurance company before I get an actual date. I am shooting for Dec 16 or 23 because I will be on Christmas break.

I am excited!

same boat as you. Coordinator is confidant I'll have end of year date and will submit to insurance beginning of December. Everything else is done

I don't have an exact date yet, but my surgeon seems to think I shouldn't have any problem getting approved/surgery completed by the end of the year. I am a school teacher so if I am not able to get it done over the Christmas break, it will have to wait until summer. My last PSW visit is scheduled for 11/25 and I will hopefully hear from insurance within a few days since I already have completed all of the other requirements. I am 35 years old and current weight is 240. I have battled my weight FOREVER.

      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.
