I'm in the same boat. Bcbstx requires a preauthorization then they submit for approval and I can schedule. I just got word today the preauthorization is done! Hopefully I'll have a date by the end of the week. I'm wanting June 20th

I am also going thru bailey, was waiting on my call for my date and it finally happened today. I waited since the 1st week of april. Im not a very patient person so it was killing me to wait, but my date is in less then 3 weeks and i will be on the losers bench. Good luck to you getting your date too.

Kimbero I still don’t have a date. I got insurance approval but still waiting on the doctor to get my clearance letter for stress test. I’m so ready for this to be over.

I understand completely. It will happen, have you tried calling the dr office? Couldn't hurt, I believe if I hadn't called I could still be waiting too.

      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.
