What is a long process. Did you have to have all test in before surgery date or did they give you a tentative surgery date. Also did BCBS take a while for approval. My surgeon told me it takes about 3 weeks for approval, but I've heard other say it didn't take them as long. Where are you going to have your surgery performed?

I had an upper gi, nut eval, psych eval. The surgery center will not set a date until I'm approved. It can take up too three weeks but some get approval faster. I have not been approved yet. I will have surgery at Wesley long in Greensboro.

I have my endoscopy on July 10th and I have to have a sleep study completed, which is on June 27th. I also will attend my first class on June 27th. So I'm very early in the process. Don't have an appointment for psych eval yet. Sure I would love to join.

      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.
