Hi_How_Are_Ya

Yes on the 30th...can’t wait! My liquid diet is going pretty good, shocking I haven’t been hungry. How are you doing?

Heyy everyone! so I have 13 days till surgery! Yesterday was my official day of liquids. I actually started a few days early to get a jump-start, doing pretty well with my liquid diet. Anyone who has had surgery have any advice for us going in? I am a mom of four kids, so I keep prepping my husband on everything. So he's not caught off guard with my life changes. I want to be as prepared as I can be!

Hi everyone, sooo I'm on my liquid diet before surgery. I'm actually starting a week before I'm supposed to (cause I'm crazy) and I noticed that my throat feels thick from drinking the protein shakes. It kind of feels like I'm sick? Sounds odd I know. I've been drinking Premier Protein shakes. I have never had this issue before when I drink them. Maybe because I drinking them more? Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this before?

Yayyy! Our count down begins!

Just got my approval today. I'm scheduled for Sep 30th!

Thank you for letting me know! Cause I just looked on my account for my insurance and I was APPROVED!!! Now I will be stressing about the surgery LOL

Hi, I just signed up for bariatricpal today, so I'm very new to this. Wanted to know if anyone has contacted their insurance themself to see if they were approved for surgery? I have United Healthcare and it's been two weeks since we sent everything to get approved. I already received a bill from the hospital stating that I need to pay a certain amount 7 days before surgery. I contacted the number that was provided and they told me they wouldn't have had my information if I wasn't approved already. My surgical coordinator has been in and out of the office a lot and I'm just confused at this point. My surgery has already been scheduled for Sep 30th. I know I have some time, but with work I need to know at least 3 weeks before. I'm kind of stressed!

That is good to know. I guess it doesnt hurt contacting my insurance to see. Thank you!
