Sorry that happened to you!

My Dr would not schedule surgery until ins was approved.

Guess I thought they were all like that.

Sorry to hear that....mine gives a fake date to the insurance Co, but never gave it to me...they don't "really" schedule it until they have the written approval in hand. I guess now that is a good thing.....will they appeal it for you??

I think it's the doctor. They are suppose to send everything in and get approved. Aetna wouldn't have contacted you the doctors office dropped the ball. So did the cAncel the surgery too? The doctor should have been on the phone with them working it out.

I feel guilty! Y'all are way more deservimg than me and Aetna approved me without any hassel. However, I think the ladies that deal with the insurance at the dr office were awesome. They told me what I would need and we got it done. I only had one little curve ball at the end. Hang in there. I have prayers and confidence the appeal will work. Your doctor should go to bat for you!! Everyone let me know what happens.

      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.
