This past week I completed all my pre surgery requirements! My husband was sleeved on June 27th 2017. I am very eager to get mine done and excited that I am ready. Waiting for them to call me with a surgery date is the hardest! I really don't want to wait for months on end. I don't think I'm worried about the surgery it's the 2 weeks liquid fast that has got me worried. I don't do well with mind games but I am happy my husband is so supportive! My husband has had great recovery and is looking amazing! I'm 28 years old and ready to live IMG_2932.JPGmy new life style!! Is anyone else waiting for a call?? It does not help that my boss keeps asking when it is. Ugh I pray it's soon

Everyone gets anxious at this time it's gonna happen quickly the insurance companies and your Dr's keep up on these things. I know mine did and everyone who posts on these websites gets their dates fairly easy. I wouldn't worry but I still kept on them and you should too. Nothing wrong with staying on top of them and making sure they do their jobs. I did and it pays off.

I am currently going through the same thing. They submitted my paperwork to insurance at the end of June. Insurance told them they had to resubmit. According to my doctors office they did and even put urgent on it. Called insurance and doctors office thursday but the insurance said they have nothing. Doctors office said they will call again. From what I hear it only takes my insurance two days to get back. So I am giving them until Wednesday and I am calling again. My doctors office said we will call you but I am not waiting on that. As I start school in September and need to have my surgery scheduled in August!

The IPA group that has to approve always sends letter. I would call them directly...

      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.
