I called the surgeon's office today. They will not put me on the schedule until my insurance approves. Final weigh in is 5/2. I was told it takes 5-7 business days to be approved once submitted. I get that there is a process ... but I am so READY to get this done!! So happy for those of you approved and scheduled! I shall join your club soon enough - I hope.

Just to keep some hope alive....I waited 15 days just for my insurance to tell me the nurse had questions so she passed it on to a doctor to ,are the determination. I was devastated. Until the next morning, that is. I called at 9am and found out I was approved!!! So although I’ve read so many entries stating that their approval was quick, even if yours is not, DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE. Stay positive and try to be patient. Got my approval 13 days before my surgery date. Good luck to everyone who’s waiting :)

No, I’m waiting for my surgeon’s office to call, probably tomorrow. They only schedule 2-3 weeks out. My friend at the clinic support group had her surgery 2 weeks and 3 days after the call.

      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.
