Approved cant wait they are mailing letter!!

how happy are you :biggrin: My WLS is 2/6 (can't wait) since my primary ins. is medicare, there is some beurocracy that i have to deal with. After ins. goes to medicare, it will then go to EMPIRE - where i have been told, its about 99% sure that i will be approved.

Unfortunately, my paperwork can't be sent in until AFTER the surgery Thats how medicare works. So i won't have the "official" good word (hopefully) that i'm approved til about 6 weeks after surgery. If i'm not approved, which i don't think will happen - i can always do an objection, or whatever its called. My predermination has been approved.

Again,Raquel, congrats on your approval. Heres to having your happiness sent over my way :tongue2: kathy

      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.
