I'm hoping to hear back from my ins. & get this scheduled before the end of November. Do you have to do two week of Clear Liquids before surgery?

Depends on your dr and your bmi. I only have to do 1 week. I am self pay too. Not sure if that matters though.

Hi all,

I'm from Texas and am waiting for an answer from my insurance for the pre-approval which was sent by my doctor's office yesterday for the Gastric Sleeve. I'm excited but SO nervous! I have 100 pounds to lose so I'm feeling overwhelmed. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and going through this journey with all of you!

Update! My doctor submitted the preapproval paperwork on october 5, UHC approved October 7. Surgery scheduled for Nov 9! I found out by calling my insurance directly.

I have my last dietician appt. tomorrow! Hoping I receive my surgery date soon. REALLY hope it's in November. Does anyone have any insight how I can ensure I get a November surgery date?

Call your Ins. if you are waiting on approval and make sure it is in rout. If they have already sent back the approval , call your Dr office and see what the hold up is and inquire on Nov. dates.

      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.
