Still Waiting...what Should I Do At This Point?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was schedule for last thursday 10/11.. i called the doctor's office because on tuesday no one had called me to confirm surgery... Then, my doctor himself called me this past thursday (same day the surgery was schedule for) he told me surgery it is still schedule for this thursday that he they are just waiting for the insurance company to approve it.

I called the insurance company on friday and they said there was nothing from my doctor's office.

So... Today monday 10/15 i am still waiting to have my pre op done, surgery is supposed to be this Thursday and I haven't heard anything from the doctor ( I did call this morning and they said the Dr was going o call me back)

I am so emotional at this point, I don't know what to do anymore, where to go, ????????????????

Please any advised are welcome

Call your insurance company two more times. I never relied on the info from one person at my insurance company. I would call 3 times just to see what I would be told each time.

      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.
