That request is pretty standard for all ins companies. I don't if i have come across anyone who hasn't needed it.

It will work out for you!

I was submitted today! Just curious I see a lot of people already have dates set for surgery before approval, is that normal? I can't do anything until the ok from insurance, which is basically just my sleep study and surgery date. I'm so excited and nervous!

I'm waiting approval. My papers were submitted to the insurance this past Monday (February 11th.) I called the insurance company (and my doctor's office also let me know today) that my case is currently with a nurse at the insurance office and he/she is reviewing the clinicals. Hopefully I'll have an answer by next Tuesday. They better approve me the first time! I surpass all the requirements for the procedure.

      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.
