I just called my insurance company to check on the status of my approval/denial. The told me that a letter was mailed to my dr on 3/25 stating that I met the requirements for the surgery!!! I'm SO happy and SO nervous!! :thumbup:

Congrats! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I never thought I'd ever see this side of the fence but I'm glad it's over. Just remember that after surgery is going to be a little tough. You'll probably be asking yourself why you did it but that's normal. I'm not trying to scare you, just prepare you. In the end it's worth it. It's going to take a least a few days to get back to feeling somewhat normal. Hang in there and every day gets better! :thumbup:

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I have a minor roadblock in my way right now, but I'm faithful that it will be fixed as well. When the drs office called to re-verify my benefits, they found out that for some reason my benefits were cancelled from October 2009-December 2009 (or something like that) even though I used them during that time and been covered by this policy since July 2008. It was an error on the part of my employer that they are having to work out between themselves and BCBS...otherwise, my pre-existing condition (morbid obesity) will not be covered until December 20, 2010. I look forward to posting a positive update to this tomorrow!

      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.
