I am expecting to have my surgery in January - I just received my insurance approval. It's funny - I was confident and relaxed until I got the letter. Now I'm feeling nervous. I'm still looking forward to it, though.

Hello to all,

I don't have a date yet. I did my pych eval on last Monday and this Monday I met with the nutritionist and get my gallbladder ultrasound. The coordinator says after Monday she will submit it all to insurance, once approved I can make a apt to come see the Surgeon and set a date. She said surgery should be in Jan as long as insurance approves. I started this journey 04/18/2013. I am excited to join this online support group and look forward to reading about all your journeys

I don't have a set date as of yet but my final appt with my nutritionist is Dec 23rd, then everything gets submitted to the insurance company for approval...hopefully Cigna cooperates and my surgery gets scheduled by the end of January!! Keeping my fingers crossed!! :)

Hi All! I just signed up for bariatric pal, but have been lurking for a while. I am scheduled to be sleeved by Dr. A Lopez on January 8 at Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ, Mexico! I hope to find a sleeve buddy that will be there around that time, as I will be traveling alone.

Just a couple days over a month to go, and I can hardly wait! I am so ready for this!

      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.
