I'VE BEEN APPROVED!!!!

Can't believe it, All the footwork has finally paid off!..I was so thrilled when I got the email from my surgeons office today that I almost cried, And now I'm nervous as hell thinking about it. But I know it's for the best and I'll be alright.

Wooo!

Grats. I just got started and I am in fear of the long road ahead. Lots of hoops to jump through. The Journey has got to begin somewhere.

Welcome! We all have hoops to go through, some more than others. We just tick them off as they are completed. I'm pre-op too and get a lot of confidence from the knowledge and experience of so many others before me. It is a safe operation that most people seem to be VERY happy they had-- they are way healthier, can move around much more easily and have extended their lives.

Best wishes on your journey!

Thanks for the kind words. I just filled out and emailed in my paper work to schedule my first visit. So I have a long while still. I am working to prepare myself physically and mentally to make it is as smooth as It can be. Much love to all those who have come before and to all those who are in the process.

It might not be as long of a journey as you think. I had my consultation appointment in May and I finished all the requirments for insurance 2 weeks ago, and now approved for my Surgery September 8th.

I didn't pick my date, that was a date I was given the day of my consultation appointment with my surgeon.

It doesn't always work that way from what I understand, But that's how it is for me.

Got it! So when u went to your initial consult you received a tentative date? I'm so confused w the whole process! I just got my authorization to see the surgeon and the nutritionist! I am waiting on the scheduler to call me.

      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.
