We have the same date! Let's keep in touch. I'm in Tucson AZ. Where are you at? I'm hoping to go from 217 to 140 lbs. how about you? I know a key will be exercising. I'm gonna start walking as soon as I can after surgery. I wasn't gonna tell my boss what kind of surgery I'm having. I'm hoping to just be out of work 2 weeks but we'll see how it goes. I'm not nervous. Just excited. I've been reading a lot about what to expect. Let's keep in touch and check on how we are doing after surgery and progressing with dealing with the eating lifestyle changes. Take care, Cathi

@@blackbenzjeep@yahoo.com Several employers require a 30 day notice for FMLA (elective surgery) so you may want to apply soon.

Woah, I didn't know that. I guess I should find that out ASAP. I'm almost a month out now.

I'm waiting on Aetna to above me. My dr says Aetna and Cigna are the hardest to get approved. I'm hopeful I have a tentative date for October 21.

I suffer the similar health issues. I should get approved. Much luck!

      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.
