African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies hope all is well!! Sipping those fluids.. im sipping beef broth as I type one ounce every 15 min.. its actually better tasting then chicken broth. Any who I was having some incision pain.. and tightening.. so uncomfortable. Ugh my surgeon called and checked on me.. (I love him) and resting cause this body is tired!!. He also changed my liquid pain meds because the loratab was causing a rash. I hope every one is in good spirits!!!

Hi

Today, I called the coordinator and she submitted my case to BCBS il on the 12/27

So, I call the insurance and they denied me. Smh

Saying that my policy recently excluded WLS and the diagnosis of Obesity.

My weight is 257. Now I'm getting the run around. Because I believe most of their info isn't true. They have told me since last July that I'm covered.

Could it be that the plan changed January 1st. Can the insurance grandfather approval since you started the process prior to January.

That is a good idea. But waiting for the insurance Supervisor to call me back. My Hr lady was not aware of any changes. My coordinator is slow with follow up too. So this is frustrating been in this program since June /12.

I think my diagnosis that the coordinator sent in is wrong instead of obesity, it should be Morbid

Obesity my bmi is 42.8. I'm very frustrated.

Thanks

      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.
