I live in Alabama

I'm having DS surgery in Dallas sometime in December. I'm waiting for insurance approval still but the dr assures me it will be before the new year! Safe travels from Alabama.

@Dknal2..what do you think of Frenzel? I have my consultation with him this week. How quickly after consultation were you able to schedule surgery? Did you have a lot of visits to Plano for pre-op requirements?

No , since I live in Alabama everything has been telephonically. But it has been a great experience. I find him to be very informative and staff super helpful. I'm excited .

It took one week to get approved and then another 4 days for my date.

How long has this process taken for you to get scheduled?

      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.
