Recommended Posts

Ok so I am sitting here with a BIG hunk of birthday cake and fixen to eat it.. please stop me... so I called my dr. today and asked if they got the approval letter from my ins. they said yes, I asked again are they sure I can get my surgery in june. She said well your hospital is now sheduling in july. SO JUNE IS OUT!!!! dammit... :angry

I am so tired, tired of this run around BS

tired of my knees hurting, tired of hating the way I look, (I am guessing this cake is not helping) tired OF WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

I am sorry to be such a whiner, I just feel like I am never going to get the band...

(I talked so much the cake is gone, guess it's to late to stop me..Somebody please sew my mouth shut:speechles :speechles :speechles :speechles :speechles )

I know how you feel and your not alone. I too am in the fight of my life with Anthem BCBS. I've waited for 2 weeks just to find out if they'll cover me or not and all they can say is they don't know. I finally got enough and called Dr. Sanchez's office and got an appointment in Mexico for July21st. I'm all excited then, my daughter who is a Physician's Assistant had a cow. No, your not going to Mexico, just go on the 6 month diet that your insurance company wants you to go on and then maybe they'll cover. I'm so tired of maybe's and if's and but's. It's aggravating isn't it? Then when you think you've got it worked out, someone burst your bubble.

Just keep up the faith and it will happen. I know it seems like it won't now but it will. We've just got to grab down deep inside and hold on for this roller coaster ride. Just take a few minutes and calm down and don't worry about that cake. Once you get banded your appetite will diminish and life will get better, I promise.

I understand your frustration, SherriJo. But if you go to Mexico, just be sure, sure, sure to have your aftercare docs and fill docs lined up first. I can't think of anything worse that having a problem and need a doctor NOW and can't find anyone to treat you. ;)

We could never afford this out of pocket! I am a full time nursing student and we are making it paycheck to paycheck. So I will just have to wait:cry Thanks guys for the support! I just want to cry, I am just praying I get a july appointment because I start back to school in aug.

      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.
