Still Awaiting Approval



Recommended Posts

Found out today that my insurance still hasn't approved me. They haven't denied me either. I am in 'pending' status.

Also found out that if they don't approve by July 6th, I'll lose my July 12th surgery date.

I'm pretty bummed and worried. I keep telling myself that I can reschedule, it's not the end of the world, but it's hard to listen to myself. It's hard to stay positive.

Sorry, just venting.

It is totally okay to vent. I can't tell you how stressed I would be if I was in your place. I hope you hear from them soon, just try to stay calm.

Thank you for your response and for good wishes - the insurance just approved me! I have an authorization number and everything. Yay!

I am so relieved, it's incredible. My knees are weak.

Wow Bryn that is awesome. Welcome to the "July Firecrackers". You will be having surgery right after me. I am scheduled for the 7th. Move on over all of you on that "Losers Bench" Bryn and I are going to be on the losing side before you know it.

      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.
