I am so happy to say the peer to peer review went well, I AM APPROVED!!! AUGUST 11th!!! These last few hours were so stressful, I was mentally psyched, physically prepared, scheduled my vacation days off for these weeks . When I heard denied I fell to the floor, I was devastated. But after the review and my wonderful nurse I am back on track to have the surgery on August 11th!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy that it went well and you're approved!

WOW! Just got scheduled for August 26th!!! The day before I will have my psych eval and last appt with the surgeon. I have been struggling with the last 2 pounds of my mandatory weight loss and boom now I am scheduled even though I haven't lost it. I have been on shakes and bars since June and will be soooo happy to finally get this done. liquids post-op can't be as bad as liquids pre-op with a full size stomach. Still just blown away. Cannot wait to be done!!

Balloon girl, reporting in. I've now blown up 270 balloons. It was really not much fun in the beginning but it's gotten so much easier and now I can whip out 30 in a row with no problem. So the sleeve has pretty much already made me an athlete and I haven't even gotten it yet.

liquid diet starts tomorrow, though. :(

I have my surgery date set for August 13th. I am getting very exited. It has been a long 7 months. I had a four day turn around for insurance approval and I completed my pre op today. I am trying to get my grocery lost in order and looking forward to this new beginning. Sending good vibes to all my August sleevers!

I got a call from my doctors office yesterday morning. They told me my surgery is scheduled for 7:30am on Monday (August 4th). I'm so anxious I barely slept last night.

      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.
