yay!!! last scheduled test tomorrow pre op



Recommended Posts

i have my last procedure scheduled for tomorrow. i am having my upper endoscopy. i already received clearance from primary doctor (letter of consent and weight history); cardio doctor; pulmonologist; psychologist and this is my last schedule test. I have two more dietician appointments to go. I hope everything goes well tomorrow and i have to wait until october 14th for my appointment with him to go over the results of the test. i don't know about you guys, but i just can't wait until surgery. i am scheduled for december 1st and i hope that we can keep that date. i am so anxious about the surgery. i wish it would just come tomorrow. can't wait to meet the skinny Roe inside RoeRoe. lol. Do the last two months of playing the waiting game drive you crazy or does it go fast? I have horizon blue cross blue shield federal. does anyone have that insurance? when will i know that they approved me? will i receive word from the surgeon or will i receive a letter from insurance? this forum is a godsend. thank you. can't wait to see the post for December Bandsters. i will know that I am close when i can join that. thank you for your support. it means the world :D

Hey,

Good luck with everything! Sounds like you are on the right track! Once your doctor submits ALL the paperwork to your insurance it usually takes just a few days. In my case my doctor's office contacted me. I had to resubmit the paperwork, the regular jumping through hoops, ha. I was approved a few days later.

Scheduled for Thursday, whoo hoo!!!! Ready to begin my new life!

      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.
