So hoping to get news like u at my appt. but with that being said I'm told about 3-4 months depending on how quickly u get thru classes and such that your bariatric sugeron requires (not insurance)

That is awesome. If you have already spoken to your insurance company and they said you are approved and you can go ahead with surgery then you are set. The ball is now in your surgeon's court. Good luck!!! My surgery is 3/16

I met with my surgeon in January and had already done the diet portion my insurance requirements so I thought it would be faster for me. My surgeon requires a sleep apnea test. I couldn't get into that doctors office until March 21st! If I do have sleep apnea then I have to be cleared by that doctor so I could have to wait until May once I get my sleep apnea under control. I am pretty sure I have it!

My surgeon requires 3 months of supervised diet even if the insurance doesn't (my insurance requires 6 tho.) he also requires 2 pre op classes, attendance to a Bariatric support group and a nutrition appointment in which I have to pass a quiz before he will move forward with surgery.

      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.
