I'm not scheduled yet, but just working out the time frames, I'll be finished with my phone course Mar 2nd. My insurance company takes 2 weeks to approve or disapprove. that means I'll likely be scheduled for some time in April.

I may be scheduled in April, also. I am not certain, either, but it seems right.

I'm looking at late march early April, too. I haven't been approved yet, but I have two weeks till my last diet documentation. Then two weeks for approval. Then schedule..so, march is the earliest but I also have to get my work schedule to accomodate me, too. And I'm not sure how it will go because I haven't told anyone yet.

I would LOVE for it to be march 12, but I think that might be cutting it pretty close.

I've been approved now, but won't get a surgery date until my surgeon visit which is on March 17. I'll have at least a 10 day wait after that, but likely longer, so I'm still guessing early April.

I just had my surgeons visit yesterday and will have an April 8 surgery. Surgeons visit seemed more a formality than anything. I start pre-op diet on 3/28/15.

Yes it is. I've still got some weight to lose. So hopefully it doesn't get pushed back. Good luck !

      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.
