They are submitting my info to insurance today. I know this is in Gods hands. I just pray they don't require a 6 month diet. When my navigator called to check benefits at the first of January, they told him they evaluate each case by case so they couldn't say if there were requirements other than the 40bmi or 35 with comorbidity. I have found I have severe sleep apnea. My bmi is 46. I am so ready to have this tool to help me achieve my goals.

So please send some positive vibe to me today.

Does your insurance company have an on-line benefits guide? While I called my insurance company to get the requirements and information regarding the surgery what I found most helpful is that the information in writing wasn't disputable. I wish you the best of luck. It only took me 2 days to receive approval from my insurance company. Here's hoping that it is just as speedy for you!

It mentions a 6 month diet attempt but it doesn't say it has to be recent. It doesn't even have to be with a doctor.

So I have a 6 month attempt but it was 2 years ago. So we will see. They started tracking again in January just in case. I am just ready!

      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.
