Wow did you have to do the 6 months diet documentation visits? I have my last visit on December 16th then I have to do a 4 hour pre op class, then they will send the auth request to my insurance. I was hoping all this would be done in December lol but I'm thinking January.

I started the process in February or March. I needed 4 months of weight loss classes plus a ton of tests. It then took several months to get insurance approval. Just got approval Wednesday and scheduled.

I'm still waiting for my surgery date. December 4th I will have completed my 6 months supervised diet insurance requirements. I'm hoping when that date comes and they submit it to my insurance that it won't take long to get approved and to get a surgery date. I am so ready to get it done already. Now I'm just counting the days..I'm not the most patient person either

      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?

      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.
