I am new to this forum, but have been read this forum for years. I've tried getting approved for wls twice and each time got denied. They say your third time is a charm because I received that call today and I AM APPROVED!!!!! I have been on this journey for over 15 years and it's here! I am so excited. I know the journey will be challenging, but I'm ready for the ride!

That’s great! I have tried each time we changed Insurance finally this year our new insurance will cover it. I have my scope this coming Friday and it is the last thing to do. Once completed they will send everything off for approval. Fingers crossed I will get the answer this month and by the end of next month i’ll Be scheduled for surgery

Congratulations! That is such great news, and it gives me hope as well. It is so annoying that folks like us who have done our research have to be approved by a doctor who thinks they know us better than we know our own needs, but that must make it extra nice when approval finally goes through!

      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.
