I am currently with Amerigroup/Medicaid i was suppose to get sleeved July 2nd, but i found out a week before surgery that the Doctor does not accept my insurance, smh. They told me there was a mix-up in the paper work. Mind you, I've been going to him for month and discussed everything from thick to thin concerning the whole entire surgery process pre and post. Now i'm stuck looking for a Doctor who accepts my insurance in the NYC area. If you of any doctors that accept it please feel free to help me out.

Dont you have a network of doctors and hospitals available to you through Amerigroup? I'm with Empire BC/BS and I am able to look up doctors and hospitals through their website.

their website is not helpful to say the least. I've called them multiple times for assistance and i swear the workers on the other end must have been new employees because they didn't understand or know what i was talking about. They continued to pass me on to the next person like i was causing them trouble.

I see you have the same doctor as I. What happened in regards of the insurance. I had health plus, then they joined with amerigroup about a month ago. How long did it take them to approve your surgery from the date you handed it/faxed it to Jessie?

      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.
