I'm in the same boat. I have all my pre-op done. The request for auth went to my insurance late last week so I'm just waiting on approval so I can schedule. I hate this limbo period of not knowing exactly when. My surgeon is shooting for the end of March. I'm hoping I get an answer soon.

I am also waiting. My stuff was submitted last week and insurance had called my surgeons office for more weight history (I hope that is not a bad thing!). I am tentatively scheduled for March 31st if approved!

I was fine throughout the 3 month supervised diet, but now that all the pre op is done I'm getting anxious to get it done. I'll be so bummed if it doesn't happen in March

I just keep telling myself to be patient. I'm noticing I'm craving junk food really bad....I guess anxiety is a trigger for me. I had been doing so well with my pre op dieting.

I am so excited. I had my last doctor's visit today. As he was leaving the room his said, "ok. next time I will see you is the day of the surgery." Now all I have to do is go to my last group session next week and then they will submit papers to my insurance company.

Based on when I would like to have the surgery I am 44 days away. A far cry from where I started from the very first day that I called and made the first appointment. Which was in August 2013.

This is my first post. Is there a spell check on here?

My papers were submitted to my insurance on the 12th. I hate the waiting. I want to know and get started already!

      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.
