You gals prompted me to call my insurance and I was approved too! Waiting for surgeons office to call with a date. Insurance company told me my date was 2/22 but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. Omg this is really happening!!!

So my husband has been approved too, but his authorization letter hasn't been processed yet. So I have to wait for that to schedule mine, since we're having it done together.

I'm so excited for all of us!!

Michigan 3: after the abortive attempts since today was Social Security day decided to go pay bills etc. When i got home there had been a call back,from hospital scheduling. Wouldn't you know they had closed,and won't be back until Monday at 7AM. Now I can screw myself up all,weekend,about what THIS person will say. I might,not,need surgery,if I commit hari kari in the next 3 days.Calgon take me away!

On January 18th my nutritionist says they were just waiting on my psych evaluation then they'd be submitting it to my insurance, I had my evaluation on Jan 16th which went great he said it was the shortest evaluation he'd ever done and it wouldn't take him long to write it up. So hopefully they got it already. I have another nutrition /Trainor apt Feb 8th so hopefully I'll know more. I'm getting anxious.... So close! It consumes my every thought. I think I'll feel more relieved when I get the actual approval.

      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.
