Hello All,

Yesterday 10/14/11 my paperwork was submitted to Tricare Prime for lap band approval. I started my lap band journey on Sept. 20th and I have done everything that Tricare Prime has asked of me. So, I just ask all of you to pray for me that I am approved.

Thank you

Nikia

On Tuesday I received a call from the insurance coordinator at the surgeons office stating that my paperwork had been kicked back from Tricare because there was missing dictation from the surgeons report. She says they have a new dictation system that has been having gliches and for what ever reason only half of the surgeons notes was submitted. Then she goes on to say that the surgeon would not be back in until Wednesday and she would have him redo the notes over and resubmit the same day as well as give me a call back once she resubmits on Wednesday. Well today is Friday and I have no idea if she resubmitted my paperwork or not because she never called me back and when I called her today to check the status I got her voicemail stating she is out of the office 'til monday. I am so frustrated right now it is not even funny.

I hope that once my paperwork is submitted there will not be any issues. Thank you for your best wishes.

      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.
