Excited And Nervous At The Same Time



Recommended Posts

I'm soooo excited to share to a group of people like me that I received my surgery today....yeeeaaaa!!! After going thru my 6 month weight management and then being denied, I finally got my date today for Oct.5. I've been a Google freek all morning reading different post. So I decided to just go ahead and join in hopes that others testimonials can be aa good help to me as well as mine once I'm well on my way. Thank you in advance for your help!

"THANK YOU"

I was denied the first time because my of my BMI. When the papers were sent to the insurance company, the incorrect BMI was sent over. And with the ins, you have to be a certain BMI to be approved.

OOh my goodness that makes me mad! Im glad you got it straightened out!! I wish you well!!

My surgeons office probably thinks im nuts because I always call and double check to see if they have everything they need as of now, and if its accurate lol. I called just today to make sure they had my sleep study stuff AGAIN because last week I asked and they had not recieved it (this was 2 weeks after my sleep study)!

I am super paranoid! lol

Lol.....u sound like me! I've done that as well as called the ins company to see what they could tell me as to why it was denied. I knew it wasn't anything they could tell me, bn as I have worked in a doc office b4 and know about the inns companies, but I just tried my hand. But yes, I stayed on top of my primary doc office to get my monthly papers faxed to my surgeon office. The good thing is, if something didn't come or was missing they'd call me. I'm really looking forward to having this procedure done. I get Migraines and lately they have been really bad. My neurologist told me that this may help me and that the hospital in which I'm having my surgery done us an excellent hospital with great docs. But good luck to u!!!

      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.
