For me it went unusually fast. Had my appointment the 18th of june and had my gastric sleeve surgery done 1st of july. Haha. Its going to be a tough road for all of us but hopefully its worth it at the end. ♡

My first appointment is on July 9 th and I will meet with the insurance specialist, surgeon, nut, and psychologist for all the initial reviews, I'm going through Vanderbilt in Nashville so they have all the Drs in one office. I have researched these procedures for years and I am praying that all goes smoothly for a quick insurance approval. My pcp has already said she will sign off that I've been working on losing weight on my own for over 6 months if the insurance wants it. I'm 36 and it's time my weight gets in control. I'm hoping for a surgery date by about mid October so I can build up some PTO for the recovery time.

Awesome! My 1st appointment with my nutritionist is on August 6. But unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until next summer to get my surgery. Good luck with everything.

Yes!! I have seen surgeon 3 times this month will be my 4th visit. I was told I have to do 6. Listening to the others I feel off track. I haven't seen any one but the surgeon and had an upper GI. I will see psychologist the 16th.

      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.
