Hi Jocy! :D I've been checking this post everyday because we're pretty much in the same boat so to speak. My information was also submitted to my insurance, (Anthem), last Monday and I've yet to hear anything. :unsure: Unlike you though, I've been calling since day one just trying to confirm receipt. Didn't help matters that they didn't even show anything being received until late Friday. And now of course, it's been in the PENDING status. So I just wanted to let you know that I definitely SHARE your anxiety. :blink: So please keep us posted once you hear something.

I have Anthem. They have one of the quicker turnaround times out there. My approval through them took about 2 days. With Cigna my denial, and then subsequent approval took 30 days each.

The lady at Aetna just said she's gonna call them to see if they need any additional papers on that department to approve it or not. I'm so nervous. She put me on hold

      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.
