Just got approved!!!! Woo hoo!!!! I am so excited!!! The medically supervised diet went by really fast and I ended up losing 11 1/2 lbs. Now I'm just waiting for the person to call me that sets the appointments & schedules surgery dates! I'm anxious to finally get a surgery date and work on getting the old me back to healthy and happy! :D :D :D

Congrats on the milestone! I learned yesterday that I too was approved and surgery was set up with that phone call.

I had to sit down when she told me... I was not certain I had enough comorbidities and BMI combo to get insurance to agree. It was surreal. In my late 30s, after trying for baby #2 and going through fertility treatments etc, I had given up on the thought of us having two kids. Got rid of all the baby stuff, built a home, got a puppy... And bam, learned I was pregnant. It was a very similar feeling to me...like the impossible just happened.

Anyhow, it is all just sinking in. I need to make some time tomorrow to let it sink in. I know how happy you must be and I wish you great fabulous experiences along the way!!!

Thank you ladies! Auntjanny~ That is awesome news!!! I'm excited for you too! The only reason that I didn't get a date yet, I called insurance to find out. It is so hard to be patient. But, now I have to wait for the doctor's office to call me back to set up everything. Waiting isn't my strong point. Ha ha!

My coworker called the office herself and told them she was approved. They called to confirm and scheduled the surgery the same day. Call the doctor's office and tell them.

congrats to all ... still waiting for confirmation of 9/05 surgery date ... waiting isn't easy for me either ... but good things come to those who wait ... I'm also having trouble getting the advocate to call me back ... I think I'll take the advise and check for myself and try to contact the advocate again ...

good luck everyone ...

      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.
