Just got approved today by my insurance. Now I am super scared. Please tell me in your opinion that I am doing the right thing or not.

Congratulations on your approval!

Deciding to move forward with surgery is a personal decision. Surgery might not be for everyone. Ask questions, gather all your information - the good and the bad -, know the risks and the rewards and be confident in whatever you choose. Take your time deciding. You got over a big hurdle, approval.

For me, it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am thankful every day to have this tool to aid me on my journey to a healthier me.

I just got approved today as well and I'm super excited. I don't have an ounce of fear. I did a lot of research so I know what I'm getting into. Plus I try not to live in fear

You'll be fine...I was freaking out too all the way until I saw my surgeons smiling face. Then I was all geared up and ready to go. I was out for like 45 minutes and up in my room in 2hrs. Staring at my husband and family as they asked me a gazillion times if I was alright. Lol. Of course I was and you will be too. :) see ya on the post op side of this journey ! Mine was 10/10/13 if you're wondering. I'm about 12 days post op.

      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.
