I Just Wanna Get FREAKIN BANDED!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hang in there, I finally took a cue from you and called my insurance today. I was approved on August 20th, funny, you think someone would tell me I had been approved for 9 whole days!! The letter was mailed to my doctor's office today so hope to be making a date for surgery soon. I tried calling the doctor's office today to see if we could schedule something, got the following voice mail 'We are closed, please call back during our regular hours M-F 9am to 5pm (duh, it was 3pm on Friday, so where are you?). Oh well, there is always Monday, nope that's a holiday so no help there, darn!!

Congrats on getting approved. That seems to be the hardest/longest part. You will be having surgery before you know it. Hope you get hold of someone on Tuesday and get that appt/date set.

      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.
