~Approved~Approved~Approved



Recommended Posts

Finally, I get to post some good news. :dance: The battle is over and I won!! :clap2: I have rec'vd verbal confirmation of my approval!!! I am shaking, crying, and overwhelmed!!:faint:It feels like the dream I had the other night.:notagree This is REALLY going to happen for me. I just got the word 20 min ago and had to make some calls, then couldn't wait to get on here to tell all of you!! :love:

Thank you again for all the support!! I am convinced the knowledge I learned here played a big role in getting approval. I felt armed and ready for anything they threw my way. :( I was even ready to type up a letter of appeal.

Praise the Lord for He is good and always knows what's best for us!! I will never forget the words of Photonut ~ God's timing is perfect!! :amen: Thank U again for that....it has been a comfort through all of this.

O.K. I'll shut up now!! Thanks for listening and sharing in my joy!! :D

Could you pinch me to make sure this is real? :( I don't have many details at this point. Just know that I'm approved and they are going to fax the approval letter to my surgeon. My new crusade will be to push for a May date. I have my pre-op class next Fri. I still need to get the stress test for my heart since I had an arrhythmia show up. At this point, any date makes me happy!! :biggrin1:

Thanks for all the bananas.....love it!! I can't get this smile off my face. :dance:

Just a word .... I got verbal approval and a fax was to be sent to the doctor immediately. It was another 3 weeks and my constant calling to the doctor's office for an update. It won't change that its approved, it might just mean you have to wait just a little longer. Just don't want you to think it will happen immediately. It might, but it didn't in my case. Just knowing that it was approved was great, but it was made real yesterday when I scheduled the surgery date.

Thank U all!! It's nice to know someone shares and understands the enthusiasm. My mom is reserved b/c she is beginning to realize this is real. We are both putting it in the Lord's hands.

I called the supervisor of PreD dept and she faxed my letter of approval as we were talking. They usually mail, but she made an exception. YEAH!! They want me to keep in touch and want to hear about my progress. Wow....I think they really care. It's been a long road, but the trip is worth every minute. Now on to the destination!!

I told the surgery coordinator, I am available ANY day in May. My husband has put his boss on alert and I'm ready to go at any time after I get my tests done.

I got my date today....I will be banded on May 26th at noon. :clap2: I wanted it sooner, but I can't get in for the pre-op testing until May 18th b/c they are booked solid. After some thought, this is just perfect b/c it falls on the Memorial Day holiday and my husband will be home with me for 3 fulls days b4 returning to work.

I'm off to join the May Crew thread!!!

This is real....it's really going to happen!!!

      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.
