Recommended Posts

WOW.. so Aetna decided to call me JUST NOW and tell me 400.00 is due tomorrow at the time i check in for surgery. WTF.. WHY less than 24 hrs i am notified of that. and then they said they will be billing me the rest later.. I have already paid 900 to my dr :( :(

I feel like this is not right.. the day before!!!!??? what if i didnt have the money.. geez. I didntrealize i would have to pay this much. I hate Aetna.

I don't understand why Aetna is telling you this. Didn't your surgeon's office tell you what you had to pay up front? My coordinator told me what I had to pay up front when they scheduled my surgery. Anyway, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, but you will manage and then you will be so glad when it's all over. 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.
