That's what I'm hoping for @@jantra12 !!!!

Thank you so much, @@SHOTzY ! The excitement from everyone feels so genuine and heartfelt. I absolutely adore you all! Having this support, whether times be hard or great, it is incredible. My family and friends who know about my surgery are super supportive, but they're not walking this path with me like everyone else so they don't/can't fully relate.

I won't give you another novel to read. But just wanted to say that after talking with my surgeon's office this morning, I just found out that they haven't even submitted my file yet. So, obviously no way I could even been approved for surgery.

I just fell HARD from cloud 9 and have closed myself up in my office at work to regain my composure at this point...

Yikes! Girl I'm so sorry that this is so dramatic.

Have you considered Mexico? Because I swear if I were in your shoes I would be considering it just to avoid all this drama .

Oh my goodness! What is going on with your doctor and insurance? This is just not right.

I am so sorry that you keep getting misinformation. I am praying that your team gets this figured out a sap. It's crazy.

You stay strong!

I just have to say- after I found out and posted my update, I was completely drained. This process has been so emotionally exhausting and I'm just ready for it to be done.

After this morning, my mom decided to take me out of town for the night- to the casino!! So, I'm going to get away and take my mind off of everything.

This wasn't a "No" by any means, so I still have hope. Just sucks that I'm not past the most excruciating part like I thought I was. The anticipation of being approved and having your file in the hands of people who know little about you and have the final say..

Haha! Yes- I have to be mindful of the surgery I WILL have. ;)

BTW- I have considered Mexico but a part of me is a bit nervous about that decision. So I'm leaving it as my last resort. Not to mention- my family isn't too keen on the idea :\

I'm praying for you. Have faith. I know how frustrating it can be. I'm pre-op myself and I'm waiting on approval. I've had to go back and forth with denials/more information needed. But I know it is God's will that I get this surgery. This struggle has made me a stronger fighter. Continue to trust God and believe that He has your life in His hands. We will both have our testimonies as we transition to the losers bench!!! ????

      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.
