It depends on what else you have to complete on your pre surgical packet. I just started my process about 2 weeks ago and I just scheduled my endoscopy coming up for the next 2 weeks. You can get the endoscopy pretty early on and still have things to complete before they submit it to the insurance company

Got my EGD yesterday 6/23 and checked with office staff to be sure all other records are in. Now the office nurse has to review the chart before insurance approval request is submitted. But the only thing was I got my CPAP yesterday and my doctor likes to wait 30 days after starting up before surgery. Well thats oksy at least i can get a date and have 20 plus days to prepare around the house and at work. Hoping for an August 10th surgery date.

@@desireat, that's great! I talked to my patient advocate yesterday who told me someone would be calling me yesterday to schedule my scope and surgery. No one called. Ack! I'm glad to see you finally got your date. I'm frantically reading everything on here in hopes of being ready. Best of luck!

      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.
