Hey Nikki, have my pre-op appointment tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. Kinda nervous and excited all in one. As of this morning I have lost 20 pounds on the liquid diet alone. The boxes you gave have been so helpful. Thank you for your help!

I don't know if I'm allowed to go to baileys support group. Dr Varnell is one of their main Drs and he's my dr but my surgery is at city plex. But their support group seemed very lacking when I went last month

The support group at Bailey is awesome I highly recommend it. I have been going to them for over a year and a half.

Everyone is welcomed to it even if you don't have your surgery at Bailey.

It is a nice event, last year I was only about 2 months out, this year it will be exciting to send in a before and after picture.

My "last" 3 month visit is April 23rd. I guess things will be sent off to insurance after that. I'm hoping things move quickly after that...I have Aetna so not sure how they are with approvals. Still undecided about which surgery though, I think that has been the worst part of this whole process lol!

How long did aetna take? Did they require the 6 or 3 month? Did Dr's require you to lose weight?

Hi! Okc here! I have my consult tomorrow but have to go to Texas because UHC insurance requires a center of excellence. I didn't see a forum for Oklahoma

      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.
