I wasn't sure where to post this but I was approved today! I am so excited. I go in June 5 to get all of my pre op stuff and to schedule my date!!

when did you submit to insurance? lol i hate the waiting game. I submitted on 05/29

Wow!!! That is great to hear about the 4 ticket meals. I'm from western Mass. And my Doc. Is through Mercy Hospital in Springfield. And I to had the two week pre op liquid diet. But my doc just gave my instructions with pure liquids! Today marks the first week I finished pure liquids. And it isn't easy I am irritable at times and I think I am past the I miss chewing phase but I do miss food.....idk I think that if I didn't have the support I have this probably would have been unbearable.....today I came home from work to roses and cards telling me how proud my family is of me and how much of an inspiration I have been. I have to hold onto things like that because there are def moments during the day where I struggle. But all I can say is when I forget I just open my eyes a little wider and take in what is around me and listen to what people are saying and I know I can do this.

I'm from western mass too! I went through baystate... I did not have a preop diet, but I ate less just so nothing would be complicated...

What part of western mass are you from?
