My paperwork was submitted a few days ago. Now just wait, and wait and wait some more. This seems unreal, I started the process months ago and now I'm so close. I remember when I first got the check list of requirements my insurance requested it seemed sooooo long. I was overwhelmed and now it seem sureal. Hopfully I will be in the looser's bench in a few weeks. :)

I am with you. I am playing the waiting game as well. My paperwork was submitted last week. I used to think I was a patient person... not to much anymore...

I am hoping to have my surgery at the end of Sept... I want to be fully recovered by Christmas time so I can truly enjoy the season with my family.

I cant believe how FAST these past few months have gone. It really was all overwhelming in the beginning but as I started to check things off my list, it felt better.

Congrats on making it to the end... you will be on the loosers bench before you know it! Best of luck to you in the future!

I'm also waiting too! I was submitted Yesterday. I've contacted insurance on the review process length. They told me 2-3 business days. So I'm hoping for a call tomorrow.

6 months went by extremely fast.. It feels like I just started all this.

      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.
