Oh Jennifer I hope not....but you are probably right.

How did I find it....well I told him (Dr. V) & Erin the office manager that I was being laid off and if they knew anyone hiring I would get them my resume. The next thing I know is I was emailing my resume to him and even w/ no medical exp they thought I could do the job. I am very thankful for the chance. I have learned so much in just a week...WOW the medical field is SO different. It is alot of fun though....

I'm excited, but the waiting is killing me! If I get a date in April, from research to surgery will be 8 long months. Hey, it's a life time committment, better later than never :)

Karen, I hope you hear something soon girl. 8 months is a long time to wait but it will be well worth it! Please let us know when you find something out.

OK, so I called UHC. They have a reference number on the pre-determination, but no status yet. At least I know they have it! :) I also got the standard "it could be 30 days" disclaimer.

We are going to have to have a party when you get the approval!!!

      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.
