Thanks! I am so grateful not have had to go through hoops. I told the coordinator that she clearly knows her job! She told me that United would take 2 weeks to respond and it was 2 weeks to the day!

(She said that not everyone follows directions well, haha.)

I got all my info on all my tests for September in the mail today. No nail polish for a sleep study? I just painted my toenails last night for the first time in like 2 years. :rolleyes: I want September to be over quickly so I can start my preop.

They need to be able to see your nailbeds, to make sure your body isn't too low in oxygen.

Update to my previous post:

Because I'm an IMDB nerd, I looked up some info...First, I misspelled. The show (and character's name) was Enos, not Ennis. Second, the catchphrase was "Grits and greens ride again". Sadly, I am the loser you think I am.

What the hell is up with that avatar?

Not sure about sleep studies, but in surgery they need to see your toenail beds too!

It's supposedly highlights but the entire top of my head is very very very blue. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a decent picture of it. The last one dh took, you could barely tell and the first set were noisy and the blue was too bright.

I'll try again tomorrow in more natural light.

      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.
