I found out friday that i did get the approval from my insurance company. Now im just waiting on the surgeon's office to call for the date. i was so happy when she told me i was approved that i started to get very emotional. i wanted to jump up and down and tell the world but at the same time i was so excited that i started crying. this surgery is a big deal to me. some people look at me and ask why because im not that heavy but what they do not understand its not how heavy i am it is all the other issues having this amount of weight is causing and has caused for so long. my weight has caused issues with my health for far too long. so ending on a good note.... im looking to start the new year out with a bang and a whole new outlook on my health.

So happy for you.... I remember what it felt like getting the news. I had surgery in October. It really does change life. I'm only 6 weeks out and down 25 pounds. So happy for you. Which surgery are you planning on getting? So happy for you!!!

So happy for you. I know exactly how you feel. I received my phone call a week and a half ago, and I had that same reaction. I start my pre-op diet on Wednesday, surgery on 12/30.

I wish you the 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.
