Recommended Posts

I just wanted to follow up, I got approved yesterday. It has been a little confusing, because I feel nervous rather than happy. but, I am sure that is normal. I know my life is going to change in a big positive way and i am happy about that . I am looking up how I can start a video blog. so i will provide the link once it is up. Thank you for those who answered my questions and have provided positive encouragement. I start the prep op diet on September 22nd.

Congratulations on your insurance approval! My paper work was finally faxed today. I am super nervous, I think the waiting is the worst part. I would love to watch your vlogs. I am on YouTube and my channel name is ilovemygoldens1.

GRATZ! Yes u will feel nervous. When I went through it.. it felt like being at the top of a roller coaster ride waiting for the big drop. Scary and ecxciting all at the same time. Now I am fighting the head hunger demons. You will do fine.

Awesome :) Be happy! It is good to be nervous, but try not to let it consume you. ((hugs))

Congratulations! I'm sure I will be nervous too when the time comes. It is a big step, but it will be for the better.

I have Aetna too. Did you do the 3 month PCP supervised diet? If yes, how many visits/charts did Aetna require from your PCP? I am trying to figure out if my very first visit will count which will make it a 2 month period, not a 3.

      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.
