How long did the approval process take for you? Which insurance are you on? Trying to get a better idea of timeline. Now that I've committed to do this, I'm so impatient to get it done :)

I have bcbs TX and it took about 10-12 days after my doctors office submitted the request for them to generate the approval (which was last Friday). They called me today to schedule the actual procedure. It felt like forever but in all honesty the process went quickly. I first walked into my doctors office determined to have this done just 1 month ago (almost to the day).

Wow, thank you for responding, I hope mine moves along that fast :) I too have BCBS TX. I'm doing my psych eval and nutrition eval both next Tuesday. Good luck with your surgery. So exciting...

I'm using Dr Frenzel (BodEvolve) and facility is Forest Park Medical in Dallas. One of my best friends is going through Dr Nicholson. Have a cousin who had great success with Dr Holder but another cousin who had nightmare experience with Dr Cernero...poor thing is still leaking and it's been 6 weeks! Nerve racking but so excited to start this journey.

      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.
