The director of my WLS office just called me to ask would I like to have my surgery done before or after Christmas . I couldn't believe it !!I had my last visit with my NUT for my supervised diet history on December 2nd . That was less then a week ago I thought the insurance clearance would take longer . I have Empire Plan BCBS of NY . I am so happy that I started to cry . It's been a long 6 months trying to get all the tests and clearances done . I can't wait to be in the other side of the losers bench !

Congrats! I am waiting patiently for my approval. I had my last appointment last Thursday (same week as you) and the insurance specialist assured me she was submitting my documents last Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed for a quick approval.

I totally agree with you...this has been a long six month journey and I am excited to soon be sitting on the losers bench.

      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.
