So here the scoop, im 30 years old my name is michael. The first time i tryed to get sleeve done was last year and was brought to the team as they call it to deny me cause my family doctor kept raising my meds which in turn caused me to have bad freaking out problems. I am no longer on that meds and and better a year later. I have done everything they have asked me as far as the insurance requirments. At one point the pysh pissed me off and he said he wanted to see me again. Well i never made that appointment. After my last Dietitcian vist she said she was going to turn everything over of apporval. I got a call saying that was looking at you file to see if you were ready to move on and i notice you were suppose to have a follow up with the pych, and you need to make that appointment. So i did and he said that since you were once brought to the team there policy is that they have to bring you to the team again. So they had there meeting and i asked that they call me back and let me know if its a go or no. He says that he wants to review things a little bit more, and he give me a call next week and dissucuse it with me, and he wants to let me know that he is actively trying to move things forward with my case...... I kinda feel like he going to say no. The one nurse said that everyone signed off on me and so it sounds like its all in his hands. PLEASE give me your advice on this if you had similar problems as i am. Or maybe im just worryiing to much. Thanks

Hang in there. Sometimes I wonder if they are testing us to see how much we can take. I think that they want to make sure we are mentally strong enough to handle life after the sleeve. Keep thinking postive.

      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.
