Hey There,

I'm a september sleever.

Just had my pre op appointment on sept 13th.

Doctor's office submitted my paper work to Cigna on that same day.

Excited!!!! :)

By the way your primary doctor should have no problems signing off on your surgery.

Hi! I just found this place! I have one more pre-op to get through, then I talk to my surgeon

about getting me a surgery date. I started 3/31/15, I have Cigna as well, and went through the very same hoops. Monday is blood work and EKG. I'm hoping for a September date, but it would

depend on his schedule. It's been frustrating at times, but I've lost 32 pounds and feel better, so that's a plus!

It seems like it took forever to get to this point. ;) I know it didn't, but at least I'm almost to Day 1 of my new life! I can finally start living. I've been hiding for 30+ years, basically. I do not have any "issues" other than a BMI of almost 48 in the beginning. but my knees hurt, my hips hurt, forget walking anywhere, aint gonna happen(guess there are some issue out there... :) ). But even after losing 30 lbs, I notice little things, like walking in the grocery store is easier, for one. I can breathe a bit easier too. Should be awesome when the rest of the weight is off. :D I've tried every diet out there, just about, except for Jenny Craig or Medifast. WW, Atkins, HCG, all fruit, just Soup, veggie smoothies, and forget the ACV. OMG, just thinking about that one makes me shudder. I am excited, the VGS is my one time shoot to get it right! I will make my body behave itself!

      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.
