I just found out yesterday that Cigna approved me for surgery. It took 5 days to get an approval. I think I am still in shock that this has now come to be a reality and no longer just research. I had already prepared myself to be denied due to my BMI was 39 when I started but I lost 14 lbs during my 3 month dietician visits. Plus, my co morbidity was sleep apnea and I have SVT, which I didn't think they would consider as one of the major co mornidities. I am so excited ???? and scared. I find out my official date this week but they are pushing for first week in Dec. My surgeon will be Dr Clayton Frenzel in Arlington, Tx.. he also has an office in Dallas as well. I can not wait to embark on the new journey of becoming a healthier me ..I welcome any advice, comments, encouragement ..I need it all. I have been researching this surgery for 4 years and now it's becoming my truth. I think I'm ready.

      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.
