Has Last Weight Loss Visit And They Are Submitting To Insurance.



Recommended Posts

This morning I had my last visit and they told me they would be submitting to insurance this afternoon. Now the really hard waiting begins. Please wish me luck! I am not nervous about the surgery or life style changes. My husband was banded a little over 3 years ago. I am nervous about the wait and approval.

Yes the good old waiting game.. during that time I ate all the food I new I would not be eating again and started buying everything I would need for my new life... I'm 2 weeks post op and I have lost 22 lbs,,,,I had my stomach folded in half and the lap band, I also had a hernia repaired that I had no idea I had. I feel good and the soreness is sooo much better and the gas is tolerable. good luck with your new life keep in touch

I'm waiting also my paper work was submitted to Inc on 5/25/12 it's been a week and I'm really having a hard time waiting, if I'm not busy it's on my mind, and when I call BCBSMICHIGAN they say they've not received any paperwork , I call the Doc office and they say they did. I'm not good at this waiting especially after 6 mo of visits.

      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.
