    Oh my I really hate to come to this page and be negative in anyway but I am feeling alot of anxiety this morn trying to figure out how I will make it through the next 3 weeks if I have to eat this pre-op food. I am not a picky kind of eater but this morn I am trying to eat apple & cinnamon oatmeal and kiwi-strawberry drink. I can barely get either past my nose and then the texture has made me gag twice. The drink is really thick. I just keep thinking I am paying $94 a week for food that I feel I can't even compare to actual food. I'm so stressed now

    What about making it into a smoothie? Worth a shot I suppose. Good luck! You can do this!

    So I've been paying extra attention lately to food pages in my fb feed and instagram, etc... and unliking them so I'm not bombarded with delicious looking food post op but while watching tv tonight I counted 4 out of 7 commercials are about food. Most of them that are about other things have food in them. Ugh. So frustrating. I may have to stick with Netflix so there are no commercials. Has anyone else noticed this?

    I had Aetna which required 90 Day Supervised Diet where 1 pound would have ruined the Surgery. At first I thought it was a BS process. You do learn more about yourself and why you over eat. I replaced a lot of bad habits and lost about 60lbs from May 16 to my surgery 1/17. Learn more about you and what you mentally need to get ready. I'm a suler emotional eater so I eat hard, bit by the surgery date I got almost over it all and was eating 6 small meals a day under 1600 to 1800 calories a day. I learned so much from the process of juggling calories. The biggest help was S Health from my Android. It helped me out a lot.

    Hello All!

    I was just wondering if anyone could provide me with information about the first couple of appointments with the doctors. I am going for my first appointment on January 16th to speak with the doctor, dietician, financial advisor and psychologist. I'm lucky that I get to meet with all of them at once instead of having to go back a bunch of different times! I'm not going to lie I am a little overwhelmed with having to meet all these people, but so excited to start this process.

    I was hoping someone could share their first appointment story so I could know what to expect and what happens after the initial consultation.

    Will there be a follow up appointment to schedule the surgery or do tests?

    When do they schedule your surgery? (If doctor and insurance agree)

    About how long does the process take from initial consult with all the doctors, dieticians, insurance and psychologist to determining a surgery date?

    (Also my insurance does not require the 6 month dieting- BCBSIL)

    I'm just not sure what comes next.

    Thanks!

    how was your appointment today? Hope everything went well. I am about one step behind you. My insurance coverage was verified today and my psych eval is weds (1/18) and I am waiting for the clinic to call to schedule my intake appointments. :)
