Covered and give me there name and the time I called and say it keep the info....then when the doctors office calls they say it not covered ...the doctors office says they can send it in if I ok it but if I get denied it will not be easy or fun to get it approved.. so now I don't know what to do.all of my test and appointments are already done.... Help What Should I Do ???????

Definitely send it in! The "what if" factor will drive you crazy if you don't. My first go about with all this, I was denied. Now here i am again, waiting to see if I'm approved. I want it bad enough that I will wait it out and jump through all the hoops! Good luck to you!! :)

Diva, sorry took so long to get back to you. The first two weeks was rough, I was back in the hospital a week after surgery for dehydration. But I'm 2 weeks out and feel more like myself, pain free and down 25 pounds. What I can say about surgery is there is no pain as far as the incisions go, but the one thing I couldn't deal wit is the GAS. GAS FROM HELL!!!!! You can feel it moving but it wouldn't come out. They tell you to walk but your so weak and tired, but I'm glad I did it. When is your surgery?

      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.
