Got my date yesterday. I'm scheduled for August 14th as long as insurance approves my weights. Final weigh on Aug 3rd, then wait for approval. Keeping my fingers crossed. If they make me wait until Sept it will really screw me up.

I had my Endo yesterday (Friday) and found a haital hernia which my surgeon said he can fix during surgery. I have my very last class on July 15th..... so since the Endo is done, I'm awaiting approval and a surgery date!!!!!

My surgery just scheduled for August 10. I wasn't required to have endo but I had to do a barium swallow where they check for any hernia's etc...I am in Texas. The only other test my surgeon had me take was a CT scan, both parents passed from pancreatic cancer so she ordered a screening for me just to make sure all is well before this major VSG surgery. Best of luck to all, August will be here quick:-)

I'm APPROVED!! *happy dance* I don't have a date scheduled yet, and I probably won't know for another week, but approval was the big hurdle!

I just found out I have yet another hoop to jump through. Now I need a surgical clearance from an Internal Medicine doctor before they will schedule me. My doc IS an internal medicine doctor, but of course she's on vacation until July 15. We live 300 miles away from most major medical services, so it looks like I will have to go out of town to get it done. AAGH!

      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.
