I got my approval letter from insurance today!!!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited!!!! I called Friday to check on the status of my predetermination letter that was sent to the insurance, and the girl that handled my call told me that she didn't see where one had been received. That really got me down because the doctor's office said that it would take about two weeks to get all the letters out and not to call until after that. Friday was the two week mark, so I decided that if nothing had happened by Wednesday that I would call the doctor's office.

Evidently, the girl at my insurance didn't know what she was talking about because they have already approved my surgery. The letter was in my mailbox today! I am so excited!!! Oh, and did I mention that I am so excited???:001_tt2:

      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.
