That is awesome! Congrats! I'm scheduled for Nov 17th. I see soany ppl talking about insurance approvals, & no one has said anything to me about insurance other than to say that I meet the criteria & need to complete certain steps prior to surgery.

Same here my surgery is Nov 24th and nobody has said anything either.

I would call the doctors office and find out for sure. Insurance approval was half the battle for me. My surgeon wouldn't set a date until insurance approved.

What insurance do you have? If you have Medicare, medicare doesn't pre approve for most procedures. But if you meet the requirements than most likely they will pay the 80 percent.

Mine was the same, set it right after approval though.

Has anyone taken "Before" pics? If so, any tips on what to wear, where to take pics, poses?

Yes...I took them in my bra and underwear in my guest room. I took one from the front with arms outstretched, one from the back (the worst!) and one from each side. I also took measurements. I plan on repeating these poses each month until I hit my goal.

      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.
