Congrats!!! Isn't it excited and scarey at the same time?

I also received my approval letter last week and I'm now waiting on a surgery date.

Hopefully, time will pass as quickly as the last 6 months have and we will all be well on our way!

Congrats to everyone on their insurance approvals! I'm sure it won't be long until I'm hearing about all of your successful surgeries :-)!

Congratulations! My doctor and I are getting everything together for my insurance. I have a few appointments with doctor, nutritionist, phys. and a med procedure before we will have everything together. I'm hoping we will have everything ready to send in before the end of the month. I hope I hear something before the end of September. Maybe in a month or so I can post the same message you just posted.

Congratulations!

How long was you're approval process? I am in the beginning stages and would like to know how long it will take. I am going to the orientation on Aug 12th. What are the steps that follow and is it true that insurance companies make you wait 6 months?

Hi Jerzee Girl,

I went to a seminar on 7/14/09. I saw the doctor last week. I'm not sure how long it will take, but we are moving right along with all the appointments I need. Good luck.

      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.
