My insurance company said they had up to 15 business days to decide. They took about 11. But i harrassed them every Dsy :) I'm scheduled for Thursday.

Mine took two weeks, but in their defense, it was over the 4th of July holiday. I could have been scheduled a lot earlier, but had to take Aug 20th due to work schedule. Good luck! I hope they are swift in their response!!

I called pre cert. I identified myself and told them I was following up on a review for pre certification. When they told me it was still in review, I asked at what stage, I.e., who is reviewing and how long they had been reviewing my file. I then asked the date they received my file and what type of deadline there was that the review be completed. Then I called them each afternoon until the review was completed. I am a paralegal in the Health Care Department of a law firm and was very comfortable with pushing each time. I'm also a Leo, so that probably had a lot to do with it too :)

      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?

      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.
