Approved on appeal BUT



Recommended Posts

I can't get my hopes up. I'm afraid it won't really happen though because my plan changes 7/1 and the doc has to decide that he will remove my stupid band and do the sleeve all in one. I never thought I would be so confused after 3 years to finally get an approval. I see the surgeon again on next Thurs to see if he will do it. Please pray that all goes well and the band has not made my stomach chopped liver so to speak. If it is ok he might take it out.... Too much of an emotion I don't know right now... Happy Friday nonetheless

Thanks I will stop freaking out now. I will just try to relax. My surgeon will know best whether it is safe to do an all in one with my band complications.

Just wanted to tell you I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! I see we have the same surgeon (I'm pre-op) and from all I've read, you have one of the BEST surgeons around so at least you're in great hands!!! Keep us all posted!!!

      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.
