You are so lucky, I am so happy for you!

Reading posts like this gives me encouragement to keep waiting and not get too sad about that process.

Congratulations!

I got a message yesterday that I was approved!!!!! I am so happy. I was scheduled today for May 12th. That seems a long way away but I know it will be here soon. If I could have I would have jumped on a gurney the day I went to the "Free Seminar"! Let us know when you get your date!:w00t:

All i had to give them was a list of the different things i have tried to lose weight both supervised and unsupervised and if i was seeing a dr..which one i was seeing...but every insurance company is different. I was fortune enough that i went through a bariatric center that is contracted with my insurance co. so the approval process was much easier.---IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING SURGERY IN YPSILANTI MICHIGAN??

      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.
