Blue Shield Of California Ppo

I just checked with my doctors office and found out I'm approved by the insurance so they'll call me in a few days and schedule everything.

I just wanted to keep everybody informed. :-)

I just got a deferral letter stating they cant make a decision yet because they did not get any medical history, pertinent diagnostics, treatment/outcome of treatment on me. So angry at this piont. I will be at my PCP office today...

wow! that's really great news :) glad you got approved.. you must be so excited?!

Yeah, but it's a tough call. I have just lost 15 pounds on my own, and my wife would rather I just do it on my own.

But, I have been down this road before, and I know that no matter how much I lose (I have lost over 100# on my own before), I won't be able to keep it off.

So, yeah, I'm excited :).

Aww.. I know your situation.. I have loss weight just about 100 pounds too.. and gained it back.. loss 10-20 pounds after that and gained it all back too.. I think the sleeve is a great idea for us :)

my kids and hubby feel the same as your wife.. but I'm sure they will stand by our sides with our final decision :)

      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.
