Approved - Just waiting



Recommended Posts

Hi eveyone,

I am new to this board and just received my approval for the sleeve via telephone. I now have to wait for my doctor to receive the approval letter before they schedule me for sugery. I like reading posts from others who share this journey with me. See you around on the threads!

I got that same call last friday. I was so apprehensive when i saw their name come up and then the coordinator who called wanted to say hi and how are you, etc, etc... I am thinking... Ugh..must be a denial since she is taking so long to share why she was calling. She then up and says...we have your insurance approval! I was doing the happy dance around my kitchen and saying thank you, thank you! Quite exciting day! Congratz to you and best wishes!

Best of luck. This part was a hard part for me! I hated waiting, but honestly, they didn't keep me waiting that long. I had to do a 2 week liquid diet pre op too, so that kept me busy once I got my date.

I will hopefully get my approval this week. I've already completed the psych evaluation, the physical assessment, and the horrible ketosis diet. All I have to do now is wait for a date. Hopefully sooner than later I want to get this show on the road. Good luck to all

I am very excited yet very nervous I'm having my surgery in two weeks… Thought about it for three years, waiting for approval for things to work out with my insurance for about a year. I think I went overboard with the high Protein foods. My lowest weight was about 107 my highest was 270. I would love to go down to about 95. I am 4"11. Fingers crossed everybody

      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.
