Recommended Posts

I have a scheduled OR date of 10/3106. I see the pulmonologist this Monday and I am finished with the dr's and all is o, I don't have any breathing problems so i expect this last visit to be cleared. But today I learned the the surgeons in Delaware are no longer going to accept Blue Cross, any suggestions? I'm freaking out after all this work and worry.

Hi there MIMI,

I assume you have gone to CHRIAS. Try not to worry about the BC/BS thing. What it means is that they are in negotiations for how much the insurance wants to pay and how much the doc charges. My suggestion is to get everything done--as far as all of your other doc stuff and wait out CHRIAS. I think they will know in the next week or so.

I just had a LAPBAND on 9/13 and have BC/BS of DE. Even if there is a problem--I don't know of other surgeons--there are none in any other county than NC.

good luck.

it will work out and all of the work you are doing will be worth it. I felt the same way. Had my 2 week today and have lost 13 lbs.

I too heard from my insurance company that they are back in negotiations (this after receiving a letter stating they would no longer take my insurance at all!)

They should reach a decision soon and BC/BS said that they are confident I'll continue to have some sort of coverage.

      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.
