OK.. the main thing is to document all those rashes scripts and creams! take lots of pictures.

IF your insurance covers it, it will have to be proved medically necessary (like your band) and they will REQUIRE all that documentation and pics. So EVERYTIME you see someone for rash or skin breakdown DOCUMENT IT!

This is part of my problem.. I have the lose skin but no rashes or breakdown.... my insurance DOES cover skin removal but ONLY if medically neccessary........ I'm having my first consult tomorrow.

I used to get rashes but weas laways to embarresed to go to the Dr for them so I just always took care of them myself and what do you think was the first thing the PS asked me when I had my consults."did you get it documented?" Oh well too late now, I am scheduled for Oct 23rd TT

      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.
