Hello, LBT I have finally submitted my documents to my insurance company. So the wait begins. I have been on this site for awhile and have read many many posts. I would like to thank you all for your honesty and success stories. I have started a blog and would love for you guys to join me on my journey.

Thanks again and I promise to be more verbal from here on out.:thumbup:

If you don't mind me asking.... What documents did you have to submit?... I am afraid of this part, because the only diet I have really paid any money for, was nutri-system. and I don't even have any proof of being on it. I know I will have to send in a letter from the physician, but other than that, what can I expect?... and CONGRATS!!!! i know you're excited. I can't wait till I get to that stage. :thumbup:

Hi Realtruelady,

I have just started on this site and am finding it very helpful for me altho there do not seem to be anyone that is in my local area... Good thing, I guess, since I intend to not tell anyone that does not really need to know. I have had all my apointments and the Dr has written to the insurance company. I am playing the waiting game now. I am praying for a quick acceptance and then a surgery date. :thumbup:

Can you tell me how you got your dates and the ticker thing on your profile? I would like to add mine and have been struggling with it. :tt2:

Today I recived my surgery date and can't stop smiling.

As for the paper work submitted, it consisted of my psych evaluation and medical records. I also believe the surgeons office completed a form.

As for the signature block, go to the user cp and click edit signature block. The weightloss ticker is another website which you can click on my block. You just copy the bb code in to the text box.

      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.
