Approved In Two Days Bcbs Rocks!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have responsed to several posts. I am so excited so excuse me if a ramble. I started this weight lose journey in Sept. I was weighting 226 and presently weight 216. The surgeon's staff said all my paper work was submitted last week to allow 1-7 days for BCBS NC approval. So I called BCBS 11-14. They informed me that it was pending to call back Thursday or Friday. Yesterday at 12:30 the office called me and said I was approved! :D They had an opening 11-20 for the visit before the surgery to bring paperwork from job to be filled out and the visit is 4 hours because they have to go over my diet plan before and after surgery. :wacko: I am so excited it can take as long as needed. I will find out then my surgery date. I am praying for 11-26 because my cousin and I want to have ours the same day. If not, sometimes that week. My birthday is the 11-29 and that will be a great gift for me. Yeaaaaaaaa, soon and very soon, I will be joining the rest of you losers on the losers bench. My surgeon only requires the day before liquid diet. :lol: Life is good!!!!

      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.
