Except you cannot anticipate complications in the middle of a semester... Money time and effort could be lost

But as always the choice is yours

Thank you! For most people that is totally true. I really did think about all the complications that might happen! I have worked hard to get to this place in my life. I even lost twins will in grad school and still finished. I am a extremely strong woman. I always push forward.

I am approved? If I agree to start over. no previous testing, surgeries and wait for an undetermined time.

@SeattleLady

I agree that health insurance is terrible - we pay a lot of money for what?

"kind of" like car insurance?? - pay a lot, one accident you are cancelled!!

i've enjoyed reading your "tale of 2 cities" / tummies😂

your determination - getting approved - woo hoo

excitement is a great emotion felt by most OP - i can only your imagine

not knowing what and when things are happening - makes you

upset/mad and a little crazy all at the same time - frustration about the

"whats and when" of your revision.

hopefully you will find out the "plan" soon, and things will go forward

good luck

The latest, my GERD is getting better by my change in eating habits. Most days, I feel like a perpetual science experiment!

I am afraid to eat. I don't want to have acid. My first visit to the nutritionalist is this week. I will have a clear plan at that point. If I am revised? It will occur in late March. Time will surely tell!

      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.
