WHOO HOO! Got approved!



Recommended Posts

Hi there, my name is Stacy and I just got the call I've been waiting for. My ins. co. approved me without any of the usual red tape. I go for an intial psych eval tomorrow (the 25th of Oct.) and then a group meeting on Nov. 1st. After that, it's on like Donkey Kong! Am new to this site but am looking forward to sharing everyone's successes and helping to cope in failure (which there will not be much of, I am sure of it!). Take care and be blessed by who or whatever you believe!:girl_hug:

Awsome. I remember getting approved. It was so quick but felt like forever. I was just banded on the 18th and fell pretty good. Down 17 lbs so far, that's including preop diet. But have lost 10lbs. since the surgery. Good luck.

      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.
