I have a BMI of 37 one day 38 the next. I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension. I have complted my consult with the surgeon, dietician, and psych evaluation done. I have completed the six month supervised diet. I have a letter of surgical nesessity from my GP and from my foot specialists, I will be getting another letter from the doctor that i weighed with monthly. I have requested my medical records, I have requested information form the sleep center. I feel as though there is something else I should be trying to do! Please tell me what I am missing! I want to make sure that my t's are crossed!!! Any advice will be very helpful! (Sorry about spelling)

It really depends on your insurance. I have fep blue and I just found the policy outline online and looked up my requirements there. Good Luck!! :) I am pre-op too and I am seriously obsessing too!!

I agree with Ashley I think it depends on your insurance. The best thing to do is contact them directly and ask for the requirements. Good luck!

Pre-op here as well. Surgery is scheduled for Monday! biggrin.gif

As long as you provide everything they require, you should be approved!

Seems like you have everything! GOOD LUCK!

      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.
