Hiii! ☺ I have my consultation January 11, 2017. Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover WLS so I have to self pay. I'm still super excited and ready for this!

That means you'll get a quick surgery date after completing your surgeons requirements instead of waiting a week to a month for approval from your insurance

With my situations im going through insurance...I had my first initial appointment Nov 17th...then it took them a week to get back with me...my patient advocate emailed me my surgeons requirements which I started getting done right away. After that it took them another 2 weeks to submit my request for approval to my insurance and that rook another week...and then another week to get scheduled...but remember I did mine around the holidays so it took a little longer with the holiday delays...also my insurance requirements weren't much...I had to have been 18 years or older, a Dr. Recommendation (my surgeon), to be either 35 plus bmi with morbities or 40 plus BMI without morbities...then I need to a psych evaluations and dietician evaluation staring I understood my post diet requirements. So Im 46.2 BMI with sleep apnea (a morbity requires for approval if under 40 bmi) so about a month and a half... hope that helps

      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.
