I was supposed to find out today or last friday, nothing yet!



Recommended Posts

Hello. So I was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them. I was supposed to hear back from Insurance if I was approved or not either last Friday or by today. So far I have heard nothing and I'm really nervous! I'm wondering if this is bad news since it seems to be taking longer than it's "supposed" to. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!! :-)

No, I think it just means your case is not a big priority TO THEM. If you haven't heard by tonight, I would advise calling them tomorrow, and continue to bug them until you get your answer. Be nice, but persistent.

Thank you for your advice and input! I had the insurance department at my surgeon's office do all of my paperwork and communication so far with my insurance company. Do you think I should call them or my insurance company directly? I wasn't really sure who was actually going to contact me. I thought it was the surgeons office, but I don't really know! I emailed the insurance department this morning and haven't gotten a response yet from them. I hate the waiting game!! But I know good things come to those who wait!! Thanks again!

I would call both. Check in with the surgeon's office to make sure everything was submitted when they say it was. Then check with the insurance company. Good luck! Just like senior said, be nice, but be persistent.

      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.
