I wonder if I should call the surgeon's office? My last visit was last Wed and I emailed the coordinator and asked her to email me when the paperwork goes out, so that I could call the insurance company. I still have not heard from the coordinator to inform me that she's forwarded everything to the insurer. Should I email her again or should I just wait to hear from her? What do you guys think?

I am so disappointed because paperwork was sent in May 21 and my case still pending. Over a week ago I was told my paperwork somehow got overlooked, then Friday the insurance lady at BCBS told me she would call today but instead I end up calling them again only to find out that Friday...the insurance company sent another request asking my doctor for medical work. Its bad enough I'm dealing with relationship issues now this.

      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.
