That is exactly how I felt when I moved here.

Was that the only requirement. I hope it is the same for me. Is the nutrition class only 1 day? Let me know what day did you schedule yours?

I think mine is scheduled for the 27th of August right now. I want to change it though. If u wanna go together let me know!!

You do have to watch the videos I believe there are 6 and 5 of them you can watch from home after the first one in the office which is the one they only do on Fridays.

Yes he actually sent me some along with a letter and stuff. I am going to try to do it sooner. Like the 20th or so. So I can have more time to watch the videos. I believe the videos start at 1030 and are every hour until 3.

Haha you did better than me. As soon as they cut open I was all NOPE! [emoji23][emoji23] He will ask about it when you see him. He gives warnings on his videos that it gets graphic ahah I thought I could do it. Haha nope. He will check your liver during the visit to like push on the belly. It was nice they even let me bring my fiancé and weren't weird about having two people.

You know I'm not sure. That's all I needed for cash pay was to have the high bmi [emoji45]. I'm new too:) I got to pick my date. I was told dr. Pilcher does surgeries on Tuesdays, if you use him. I'm not sure how different that would be with insurance to be honest.

Welcome!!!! And that is what my insurance told me too. I have my consultation with surgeon on the 6th so I will find out then if there are any requirements. As far as dates.... depends on requirements I think.

      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.
