You gotta do what you gotta do! 😂😂😂 My paper work was submitted on a Tuesday and I believe they called me that Friday. It was definitely quicker than a week which they said approval takes a week here in CT






Every time I see someone post "anyone else having surgery on such a d such date"...... I always say you should go check out the summer surgery buddies post. One of our members even took the time to make a list of everyone's surgery dates..... I hope I end up having someone the same time as me. I'll end up being a surgery orphan...lol


A surgery orphan 😂😂😂 I thought I would be one but there are 2 other people with the same date as me on this thread and about 2 others on another! When you get your July date, also check the July surgery buddies forums!

Wednesday June 27th is my date. The reason why I am freaking out is because June 27th was always the target date. But Aetna sent me a denial letter saying they wanted me to meet with the dietician for 6 more months. So I had the mindset of I had to wait 6 more months. Then the surgeons office called me on friday and said they got the approval and we were good to go for the 27th and could I come in today for my preop and start the liquid diet tomorrow. So this is all moving so fast that it’s just freaking me out.

Okay so my psych evaluation was WEIRD 😂 The part where they focus on weight and eating habits had me crying laughing... I was asked all kinds of crazy ?’s like... Pardon me if you will but “ Do you incorporate food with copulation?” OMGGGG I was taken off guard TOTALLY🤣😂 Other than that it was okay!!

Your surgery is a day before mine. Take a deep breath, remember all of the reasons you wanted to do this. Think of all of the months you’ve committed to getting to this very point. You’ve got this, and we are all cheering you on!

I was asked why I wanted to do this surgery and to go into detail with my relationship with food and eating habits but nothing like that, lol

      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.
