wrong approval



Recommended Posts

Just found out that my docs office sent in my paperwork for the LAP BAND!! I was approved for that but I told them repeatedly that I had switched to the sleeve 3 months ago. Will this be a problem for me? She said it MIGHT be as simple as calling and switching a code but im not that optimistic. Will they have to resubmit? Will I be waiting another two weeks for approval? Im so sick of this process, I just want my sleeve.

CT WHAT A BUMMER...you definitely don't want the lap band. I love insurance companies. NOT !!!!! Think postitive thoughts and your sleeve will be yours in no time. Stay positive, believe you have it and it is yours. Stay on the doctor's office to get you codes changed ASAP. don't let them screw you again without a KISS!!! Don't get down CT this will work out!!! We will get your sleeve. Tell them they don't want a crazy TN Redneck up in their face, don't make me come to CT and get them. STAY STRONG!!!!!!

      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.
