I should be having mine in June. I have one more appt after Monday and hope to schedule my surgery. does anyone know if they will go ahead and schedule the surgery while you are waiting for insurance approval?

They scheduled mines before approval and my surgery was approved 1 day before surgery

They scheduled mine 4 weeks before my surgery because i was afraid that my insurance was going to change and didn't want to have issues. as soon as my last nut visit it only took a day to get approved. good luck :)

I agree, they will go ahead and give you an attentive date, just for insurance purposes. My first date was the 20th, ive known my date since march, just got approved today and they pushed my date up to the 17th. on day approval.

I've made it to the 14 days left mark, it's all nerves and emotions from here. I am picking up all my Protein and supplements from the surgeon's office tomorrow. I am paying my dietitian fee as well. My insurance is picking up the tab for the surgery. I am getting so excited I can hardly sleep. Can't wait to be on the other side.

I have set a goal for myself to be 300 or below on the day of my surgery. I haven't started my pre-op diet yet, I am sure I can meet my goal by the end of the 14 days. My pre-op diet starts next Wednesday. I have pre-op next Thursday at the surgeon's office for 4 hours then I go to the hospital to do all their pre-op stuff. I am going to be real busy that day. I have never met my surgeon, but he is really well known in my area. So I am kinda nervous about meeting him. I did see him a few times when I was in respiratory therapy school. So I have seen some of his work up close.

I plan on getting the house cleaned up real good the six days between pre-op and surgery. I'm only supposed to be in the hospital one night, so to much destruction can't possibly happen with just my hubby and dogs at home alone one night. Of course, I could be wrong. :)

      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.
