My surgery has been approved!! In one weeks time!! My husband had back surgery last year and it took nearly 6 months to get it approved... He was not able to work and sat here at home in pain for months... and mine gets approved in a week? I am going to take that as a sign from God that this is meant to be, for me!! Now I am scared $hitless!! wow....

Mel, so glad you were approved so quickly! and yes, as things progress, it's totally normal to go back and forth from excited to afraid and even totally freaked out! This board really helped me with that. The DAY OF I was ready to run out LOL but I remembered everyone here telling me their stories and it helped normalize my experience. Best of luck to you!!! I look forward to reading about your progress.

It's okay to be scared. Just do all of the research you can - get in as much counseling as you can - address the issues that have helped keep you overweight BEFORE the surgery, and go through the threads here AND TAKE NOTES! No kidding! notes will be so helpful!

God bless and keep me posted!

      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?

      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.
