Can I Get A Hell Yeah?!



Recommended Posts

My paperwork got faxed over to insurance on 6/29. For some reason, they thought they only had three month's worth of diet plan paperwork and had to confirm with my surgeon's insurance coordinator that yes, they had everything they needed. I called Monday and was told the file was given to medical review on 7/7 and it would take 7-10 business days to get a decision. I called again this morning and no update. Then I got a voice mail from the insurance CSR I spoke to. She had contacted the medical review department and confirmed I was approved! They'll fax the letter to my surgeon today so I should get a date today or tomorrow.

First, yay that I'm almost there! And secondly, my insurance company really rocks. The fact that the CSR made the extra effort to see if there was an update made me feel so good. I'm actually tearing up right now.

Anyway, after telling my family, I had to come here and share.

      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.
