Surgery Tomorrow!!!!!! OMG



Recommended Posts

My name is Maria, I am 26 years old, 5''7 and 295lbs.

I have my surgery scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30AM.

Im so excited, I have no idea what to expect, and I confess I am a little afraid of not loosing weight, I dont know why I feel like that !!!

since I decided to have surgery which was in November 2010, everything worked perfectly, and my insurance approved me on the same day the office sent my info.

If anyone looking forward to have surgery and need to know a good insurance to work with feel free to ask and send me a message.

Hope to get to sleep tonite !!!! LOL

So it only took you 2 months to get the insurance to approve you? My insurance spells out in the explanation of benefits what the criteria is but does not say anything about prerequisties. Is your experience with insurance typical? Thanks and good luck!

my first appointment with the doctor was november 14th... I had no insurance back in November.. i was going to be a Self Pay.. and thats when they told me about my insurance company.

So... I applied for the insurance and it was effective on December 1st...

in December i did all my appointments and they sent my request for surgery for the insurance on December 16th in the morning ... and the doctors office called me at 3pm and told me that i was approved.

So they said I was approved and asked me if it was ok to have surgery on January 3rd...

I never tough it was going to be easy like that .... Im so happy with my insurance..

And I had to do nothing , the doctor office did everything!!!

      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.
