Congrats!!!! I'm a state employee as well BCBS of New Jersey...I was submitted today hopefully I'm approved as quickly as you were!

The stats on VST show that BCBS is very expedient about approving pre-certifications! The process will flow smoothly! Call them tomorrow to confirm receipt of your clinical documentation.

Thanks! I called today but they said they didn't have anything but that once received my doctor would have an answer in 5 business days.

They don't have an answer or they don't have your paperwork? If they don't have your clinical information and your coordinator supposedly submitted it...then you need to give the coordinator a call!!!!

It is true about the variation in info. Just keep calling until you hear you're approved!

      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.
