submitting on Monday



Recommended Posts

So this is definitely been a long time coming and I really cannot believe that it is now time to submit for approval to my insurance company I was supposed to get my surgery back in July but because of a pre existing condition wait period I had to wait until today January 18th if you have had insurance for 1 year and have the pre existing condition wait period be over. After my to doctors appointments today I rushed home to call my insurance company and confirm that the wait period is now over and that is exactly what they told me I then went to my surgeon's office for my nutritional visit and it was the first time since my first appointment that I was actually in a good mood because I knew that I was close to the end. At the conclusion of a visit with the nutritionist I was so happy and almost in shock that it really really really might happen the girls at the desk told me that they could submit as early as Monday and I should hear something either by the end of next week or early the following week. Just thinking about the phone call of them telling me that I am approved is more than enough to get me emotional. I told my closest friends when they get that phone call I'm probably going to react as if somebody proposed to me because it has been such a long time coming. In my dreams the song by Kelly Clarkson a moment like this should be on cue and waiting to play as soon as I get my phone call. I really cannot believe that it is time for 1 of my biggest dreams to come true and I am so so so excited I cannot wait to share all of my good news with you guys out there!!!!!

      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.
