I'm so excited for the people who have their dates coming up soon! ???????? I went to see my surgeon yesterday, all the paperwork is in order and they sent it to the insurance company. Because I'm planning on traveling abroad in 10 weeks, I have to start the pre-op diet on Monday. My surgeon wants 8weeks between. I'm soooooo excited. I'll be more excited to get a definitive date!

Unfortunately I still don't have a date. I was originally scheduled for Jan, but because my Protein was too low I had to wait a whole month to increase my protein to normal, and was looking at a Feb surgery date. Now it's looking like it's going to be March because of my stupid protein still being too low. Went from 6 to 8 months of waiting for a freaking surgery date...smh

I went to costco today and picked up Premier Protein shakes and gummy vitamins. Tomorrow after the pre-op, I'll get SF Jello and SF puddings. I'm so excitd. It's been a long time coming.

I haven't had my consult yet but I'm actually hoping for October. I don't really want to wait that long but if I do it in October then me and my husband will make our insurance deductible late enough that next year when I have to do follow up visits we won't have to worry about a deductible.

This process has been very quick for me so far!

First appointment with True Results: February 11th

True Results submitted info to Insurance: February 13th

Called to confirm they received case: February 17th (confirmed)

Now just waiting for an approval! I'm being told I shouldn't have an issue getting approved and that I should hear back in about 15 days, and I should expect a March surgery date! Eek!

Just an fyi...We all should be taking Vitamins anyway. Whether you get the sleeve, bypass, lap band or any other weight loss surgery. We should be taking vitamins. Even if you aren't having surgery you should be taking vitamins. I heard a lot of people speak against the bypass due to one of the reasons being dependent on supplements for the rest of your life, but technically shouldn't we be doing that anyway??? Is that such a bad thing???

I don't have the answer.. but once you are back to a normal calorie range (i.e. not under 1000calories a day) you should really be absorbing it through food (with the sleeve).. That's my own perception.

      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.
