I'm really late to this post, but am going through the same at True Results in Plano. I'm also self pay and have acid reflux. I had my physical, ekg and blood work, but they said it would take two weeks to look things over and schedule my endoscopy. I'm 4 days into my two week wait and it's killing me. What if I don't have a hernia? I'll be devastated. How quickly after the endoscopy did you get scheduled for the procedure? Thanks in advance for the help!

Yoyo, if took about a month be very patient! Don't worry you WILL have a hernia & even if you don't they will say you do so that your insurance pays for the hernia repair & then you pay for the sleeve out of pocket.

Thank you so much for the peace of mind! I need this serious intervention and can't think of anything else right now except getting to the surgery date.

Just try to relax, once they get your blood work, they send it to the surgeons office & they get your file together. You are probably going to have surgery in late June or July. They schedule it really fast! You can always email your advocate for updates, mine always replied b/c I was bugging the crap out of her lol

You sound like me. She told me upfront to bug her if I had a question... I might have to take her up on that offer. Lol.

      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.
