Finally Got Approved



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting patiently for more than six month to hear that "Oh were already Approved"

After completing my six month of Nutritional visits, and having done all my blood work and scans, i go to my last visit to tell me that i need to do a sleep study.. omg my schedule n stomach turned out so bad because i thought that by now i would get my approval and surgery date.. uugh.. so in a moment of stress n depression, after doing my sleep study, i call three days later, speak to the receptionist regarding my case, and she tells me i have to wait up to two weeks for them to get the results. I ask her do u know who i am, since a lot of people call, she assures me she knows who i am, i hand up n ask God if its upon your approval for me to get this surgery, i will wait for that call... no even 2 mins out, and the clinic calls me, i quickly answer, and all i hear, you had already been approved even after i told u to do the sleep study!!!.. wow. really, regardless of all the time and money i wasted here n there, i finally can breath because i was APPROVED!!! n my next visit is on Wednesday!! woo hoo so happy guys, its really finally happening for me! I Thank God for the biggest support, my mom, and best friend, and this forum! My decision on not letting anyone know about my surgery had taken a toll on me without knowing, i have become so distant and depressed, and jailed inside.. but now i can begin to breath again!!! AMEN!!!! Glory Hallelujah !

      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.
