How did it go?
It went great. I really like my surgeon he was very down to earth very helpful professional and he answered all of my questions he made sure the surgery I chose will be the right one for me. But other than that I don't have much to do for insurance just blood work EKG ,psych eval.,two nutrition classes and get copies of my cpap records.

Am I over reacting the last two days have been so stressful yesterday my surgeon ordered 16 labs for me I got stuck multiple times. Today I tried to set up my psych. Evaluation appointment they wouldn't let me I was told they don't take my insurance. So I called my surgeon told her what happened they say that wasn't true so now I'm waiting on them to fix the issue.

Nah, not overreacting. The process can be arduous, but worth it in my opinion.

My psych (woman was a complete loon by the by, who insisted I take notes of her brilliance and promoted her book and therapy sessions during my one and only session.), did not accept insurance, so I had to pay out of pocket.

Be sure to talk to your doctor about stress and concerns, that's part of what they are there for.

Hang in there, everything will be just fine.

      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.
