Mine is scheduled. Trump said yesterday elective surgeries would be in Phase I with possible start date May 1st. Although, mine isn’t elective. It’s for my health.

I’m praying mine will be scheduled in June, I’m just waiting to get my final appts done this month after 6 long months of “ center of excellence program” for insurance purposes. Has anyone else had to do this program for 6 months? And how long after you finished did they schedule your surgery?

I'm scheduled for June 16th. It's still possible that it'll be postponed at the last minute though, since CA is still doing scheduled surgeries very sparingly due to COVID. Things are trending in the right direction though, so I'm hoping by mid June hospitals will be more or less back in the swing of things and I'll be able to keep the date. Fingers crossed!

Hi All. I just found this site and am looking forward to reading everything! I'm hoping to be scheduled for late June. I'm working quickly through my requirements. I've started changing my eating habits to prepare for post bariatric life.

      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.
