Hello everyone I was told that I would have to wait until late May at best but probally June for my date. I just got approval after fighting with Cigna for over 6 months. Finally after appeal they approved the procedure. I am really scared but I really want to get it over and started so I can start living my life instead of watching everyone else living theirs. I have type 2 diabetes ans I am truely hoping that this will make that go into remission.

Looks like we will have quite a few Ohio April Avengers! It's exciting to know we have others who are close by. Maybe we can all meet up in person some day!

Turler - thanks for the offer of joining you. I was having trouble posting earlier and couldn't write all I wanted to, I kept losing it and finally went with a one liner, then it worked! Anyway, I know Dr. Curry has support group meetings at his office, but I'm not sure if they are only for his patients. I plan to find out. His office is only about 45 minutes away from me. He is on the northern end of Cincinnati.

Anyway, I go for my nutrition class on April 10th. I'm guessing I will get my 2 weeks of Medifast meals then. I'm actually pretty ready for that I think - just ready to get the show on the road!

      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.
