I received my insurance approval last week. I'm not officially scheduled yet but they are telling me it will most likely be in November so I'll say I'm a November sleever unless I hear otherwise!

Congratulations by the way! Are you nervous?

I'm more excited than nervous. I probably wont get nervous until the morning of surgery. I have my pre op nutrition class October 20. I leave for my cruise October 26. Get back November 1 and start pre op diet November 4. Good luck to all my fellow November sleevers. We are on our way. Let's stay in touch. Do this journey together.

I just got my surgery date! I was hoping for sometime in October, but my official surgery date is November 4, 2014. I could not be happier at this point (shy of a move-up on the date). I start my pre-op Protein shake diet on Oct 24th.

Hi.. I'm on track for surgery in November... although I'm preparing myself to be ready for December to avoid disappointment. My birthday is Nov. 25th - so I'm calling it the best present I ever gave myself. I'm nervous and excited all in one.

Best of luck to everyone, hope to see everyone often

Hi! I have my psych eval on Oct. 14th and that is the last of the hurdles. I am hoping to submit paperwork to insurance by the 16th and hope to hear of approval shortly after. If all goes well, I will be able to join you all as a November sleever. Sure hope it happens that quickly.

I am scheduled for November 3, I started my 2 week liquid pre op diet today. I work nights so this is going to be a little bit of a challenge. However it is so going to be worth it. I am excitedly nervous... I am sure most of you can understand what I mean. I am excited to start on this new journey and finally have a good tool to help me lose the weight I need to lose. I know its not going to be an easy fix and I have to put a lot of work into it. I am nervous because, well its surgery, need I say more? I am looking forward to hearing from others. and how everyone is doing. Happy sleeving!!!

      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.
