Well, my insurance said yes.

Now I'm waiting to hear from the hospital to schedule my pre-op appointment and my surgery date.

I'm excited and terrified all at once.

My first appointment was at the end of January. My last appointment was April 8. My insurance approval only took a few days. It was submitted April 26! It was supposed to be submitted April 11 but the office has a lazy person in charge of it. I waited a week and a half and then started bugging her to death. She finally sent it in to shut me up. :)

I guess I have enough co-morbidities to make them think surgery is cheaper than all the meds I take.

I hope they call to schedule soon. I'll give them another day, then I might start bugging them....lol

My doctor said I could lose but not gain. Would any of you all be interested in joining if I started a Facebook group? I saw one on here but I messaged her weeks ago to join and never got a reply back. I thought since we were all within a couple months that I might start one for us. Let me know if you are interested.

I would love to join a private group on Facebook. I hope to have my surgery next month. I did all my appointments but need one follow up with my pulmonary appointment next week. My name is Vanessa Lecoin on Feb.

What a weekend! Took 3 hours to put together my new grill on Saturday, but had some of the best kebobs ever.... chicken breast with 4 different colored bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. We also built a fire in our fire pit for the kiddos to roast marshmallows.... no matter how badly I wanted one, I held back. Honestly, I was having such a good time watching them that I didn't think about it much.

What did everyone else do this weekend?

Yes, and I already had those three months because I was documenting weigh ins monthly with my provider. I work in the office she's in. She knows about the surgery obviously, but she knows my desire for privacy so it's all being kept quiet.

She has referred several patients to this surgeon and knew the procedure. Most insurances require more than three months. So we started the weight counseling. My insurance only needs three months.

      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.
