Waiting For Approval



Recommended Posts

I've completed everything required. I wanted to be sleeved before the year was over but hoping it will be done in January. Hopefully, I will be approved and receive a date before the year ends.

Congrats of getting through all of your pre-op requirements. My approval took less than a week but it was the longest week of my life! LOL

What a great way to start out 2014. And just think of where you'll be ringing in 2015 in a year's time. Good luck!

I am also waiting for my approval. I was told it could be up to 2 week before I hear back from anyone. It has been two days and I have never felt more nervous in my life. I'm also very anxious about it because as it stands right now, the only people in my life who are supporting me are the ones who have gotten WL surgery before. (2 people) everyone else including my best friend and mother are pushing hard for me not to do this. If I get approved it's only a matter of time before I am heathy for the first time in my life. I feel your pain. And it feels nice to know that there are others out there who feel mine. -Dylan

It's been two days for me also. Everyone been telling me I'm not big but maybe I carry it well. I'm 276 and only 5'6, I think that's pretty big knowing in only pounds away from 300. I've been told not to do it by many but this is what I want.

Congrats on gettng through the prelim stuff....hopefully you'll hear something very soon!! I just got my approval today, and it's such a relief when you get that call!! Now I'm just waiting for the surgery date. My surgeon is taking the first two weeks of the year off, so I know it won't happen until sometime after that.

Congrats again, and I wish you the very best!!

      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.
