I am sadly NOT going to be a September 24 sleever anymore. I am beyond frustrated, but trying to still be good. I have been so ready, bought all my Vitamins and post surgery items to be told today by my insurance company that I was supposed to register with "their" program and after I registed a NP will be giving me a call on September 29th. I called back in April and asked everything, they NEVER transferred me to the bariatric area of my insurance, not even a mention of it!!!!!!!! Now, surgery that was for next week is cancelled, by claim for my short term disability closed, all the arrangments for my work to be done again, later as well as childcare arrangements for my son. This sucks, I am venting, crying inside so my son doesn't see (he is four). Picked him up from school all happy as usual and one of his young buddies asked if I had a baby in my belly. I thought I would bust crying, but nope. Thank god I have a therapy appointment tomorrow.I just want to scream!

Omg.....the same thing just happened to me I can't believe it

Is everyone "out" about their surgery? Or am I only one that has kept this quiet except immediate family!

I'm with you! I had no intention of keeping it a secret. I'm fortunate to have an amazing supportive husband! And two of my family members have already been sleeved, so they''re of course very understanding and supportive. But when I told my best friend.....DID NOT go over well! She has always been bigger than me, and unfortunately a very jealous person. She tells me all the time that she worries about me turning into a bitch once I've lost weight and the dangers of the surgery and how she knows I'll be extremely unhappy after the surgery and yada yada yada. It's really unfortunate and makes me really sad. I'm not doing this to be skinny. I'm doing this to be healthy and all she can see is that I will continue to be skinnier than her. After her reaction, I have not a single other person and I don't intend to.

The 23. It sucks. I mean no it hasn't been denied but they called me n told me I was approved I rented a room n a car already n took off a month from work. Now what?

And there's no possibility that it can still come through for that date?

      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.
