That is odd. I hope it all works out. My SS Center called to pre cert me a couple days before and then confirmed my coverage before the procedure. Seems like that should be the norm.

I just want you guys to know how serious sleep apnea really is. A girl that is overweight that I have known since I was about 12 years old went to sleep one night and she did not wake up the next morning. She died from sleep apnea. She was married and a

my BMI is at about 38.1. I have my first doctors appointment/consultation on May 4. My sugars are good. I know I have high cholesterol, and blood pressure is good. I do have arthritis in my lower back around my L5 disc that hurts me pretty bad, including my hands and thumb. I also have planter fasciitis and Incontinence.

So basically I have no other comorbidity other than high cholesterol. Don't laugh at this but I have recorded myself sleeping. I snore wake up, wake up snore wake up, and it goes on. I wake up tired. Trust me I don't want to have sleep apnea but do you think that there is a chance based on what I am telling you that I might have a little bit. I know I don't go into REM sleep all of the time. I do have to take something to help me sleep and even with that I snore and wake up snore and wake up. My snores are not very loud. I used an app called dream pro in case you ever want to record yourself.

      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.
