I can't believe that by next week I should have an answer from the insurance. It's crazy to think that if I'm approved I'll be sleeved in the next few weeks. The dr has agreed to help me get surgery before March 31st because on April 1 my insurance changes. Please send good vibes my way. I really don't want to go through this process with another insurance company if I'm denied.

I am going through this exact same thing. I am currently scheduled for March 20th pending insurance approval. My paperwork was supposed to be submitted yesterday… so I wait. My insurance changes on April 1st so I am trying desperately to be done by then. Good luck to you!

Thank you. We don't have to do the liquid diet pre-op just the day before. Then there's a drink we take that cleans you out. May be what they use for colonoscopy but not sure.

Ok, that's kinda nice you don't have a pre-op diet. Are you planning any food funerals? ;)

      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.
