Well- Just an update on the waiting game. As for the show "biggest loser" I never recieved a phone call from the producer. I should have know better because of the source it came from. Oh Well- I wasn't all that jazzed anyway(maybe a little). As for the insurance - finally the rebuttal was sent in 4/4 & another one is being sent tomorrow - because they had my weight not updated & my height a full inch too high. Which made a huge difference in the BMI. So now I am over 41.5 BMI Which qualifies:0) I guess thats good & Bad-LOL

I am going to wait one week & than call the insurance Co & cross my fingers. If I do get a NO than I am prepeared to switch Doctors & self-pay. Its been a very long & difficult waiting process for me. I just hope all goes through & I can finally be banded & successful.

If it wasn't for LBT I would have thrown in the towel along time ago. But its the success stories & photos that make me think this is going to work for me too. Thank you all for being here & sharing.;)

I think that after all the trouble you've had in getting this surgery approved you should be commended for your wonderful attitude. You give so much support on this board and I am truly impressed by you. Best of luck and my fingers are crossed for you.

      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.
