Congrats! How long after your endoscopy was yours sent in for approval?

I haven't had an endoscopy performed. My application was sent in right after my psych evaluation. It would have been sent in right after my final month on the supervised diet if I had done my evaluation sooner. I go to the doctors next week for my pre op testing so maybe they'll do a endoscopy then.

I've already done my evaluation and are op testing.

And no supervised diet required either

Have they not sent your application in yet? If not, you may want to contact your surgeons office and find out what the hold up is.

They approved the pre surgery. But you can't be approved for the procedure til all is satisfied to send in. How would they know your results are all complied with?/ so I guess awaiting a tentative date

      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.
