When was all your paperwork submitted to the insurance company and how soon after did you get your surgery date

Submitted Feb. 13th, approved Feb. 21st, Surgery date Feb. 23rd.. I was calling my insurance company every day to see if I was approved. Once it got approved I called my Dr office immediately and got the ball rolling

Hi all - March 15 is my date. I will have my lap band removed and then the bypass. I'm excited but nervous, too. I'm wondering about excess skin after weight loss and what others did about it.

My revision to Bypass is 3/28. I had a Vertical Gastric Banding done in 2000 and lost weight but have had tons of complications since and have gained some weight back due to complications etc. Upon losing the weight after VGB I had a 360 done in 2005 as well as a brachioplasty, thighplasty and breast lift. You can write me privately should I be able to answer some questions for you.

      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.
