Hey there... I'm in the process myself... this is what I have to do:

Cardiologist Clearance

Pulmonary Clearance

Endocrinologist Clearance

Psych Clearance

See a nutritionist

sleep Study

2 year weight history

4 month supervised weight loss

I'm almost there... I have the nutritionist tonight, the cardio and pulmonary appt on Saturday. I also have to re-do my sleep study because they need to get Sleep Titration results.

Hoping to get my sleee in March!! :D

Good luck on your journey!

Any info on your process with insurance is great I have emblem health so went with that but if you are in NY and have insurance please list your requirements and process since the day you first started.

Hi,

I'm new here and I have read a few boards and I see everyone is beyond helpful in some way. I'm 25 years old and live in Westchester, NY. I went for my seminar December 10, 2014

And have my first appointment with the surgeon January 23☺️was wondering for those in NY with emblem health how long after your first appointment did you get a date? What are the pre surgical requirements that need to be completed beforehand? Thanks so much!!

. Hello Harley I'm also with emblem health care in NYC, my requirements were as follows 3 month supervised diet,co morbidities such as sleep apnea, diabetes I believe you need one or more of these and your good if you don't have these issues than you need a BMI of 40+,cardiac clearance (I have clogged arteries) if you google emblem health/bariatric surgery the page of requirements should come up in a PDF format. Hope this helps and Good Luck on your journey.

      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.
