My heartfelt apology!!



Recommended Posts

Well June 20th was my surgery date and I canceled because I am trying to get my insurance company to pay through appeals. I posted a message on the 20th out of frustration and questioned whether or not my doctor's "insurance expert" was sending forms into my insurance. You see, there was miscommunication and hard feelings on my part. and I found out that she indeed sent and did everything that was in her power to help me. I was so frustrated and I turned to all of you on this site for help when I should have contacted her and directly asked her.

I would like to apologize to her and thank her for the help that she has given.

Many of you were very insightful and I appreciate the advice. I do have faith in my doctor and his staff and hope that I can get all of the insurance stuff resolved so I can start my new life.

Sincerely,

Michele

I wish you the very best Michele. I understand the frustrations that came develop when it seems an insurance company holds so much power over your future. This is a highly emotional time and everyone of us understand that.....no need to apologize. Aren't you thankful for such a place where you can yell, scream, cry and even shout with joy if you want to? Before long, you will have a different story to tell. Keep us informed and ask questions. Chances are, there is someone on here that has walked in your shoes. Hang in there!! :)

      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.
