How long did it take?

I started this process October 2015. When I completed the steps that were required by my insurance company and my surgeon then my surgery packet was submitted to my insurance company..it took a week and a day for an approval.

My pre-op appointment is on July 25th unless there is a cancellation and the lady who I spoke with said my surgeon is really good with setting appointments two weeks after pre-op appointment so we'll see once I see him on the 25th. Hopefully someone cancels and I'll come in sooner lol. Do you have a surgery date?

Sounds great, good luck! Mine is on August 1st. I met the all the goals and requirements in April, and they were already booked until August! Apparently the surgeon doesn't have many surgery days. It's been a long wait trying to stay good!

It sure has been a long wait but we are almost at the end! I'm assuming that I'll have surgery in August as well. Crossing my fingers that someone cancels though lol. Either way I'm so happy!

I just finished up my 5th of 6 months supervised diet. just waiting until the last visit on July 29th and they will submit. getting pretty pumped! I'm used to eating 5-6 times a day, now I am trying to wait to drink after meals and sipping Water. I feel like I am ready for the BIG change to come!

      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.
