ReadyNewM3 if your papers were already submitted i say it doesn't hurt to call the insurance and ask i know i would, just ask for the status on your paperwork i say the worst that can happen is that they tell you they are still working on it ....=)

That is great!! We found out our insurance won't pay regardless. So we are going to save and do it self pay.

Mammecan....yes i did although my date was tentative for like a day until surgeons secretary got confirmation of the Operating Room of wether or not it was available for the days that my surgeon was available which were either the 10th or 11th for me and 17th or 18th for my MIL (my surgeon works out of 2 hospitals both the same but different locations maybe like 20 minutes from each other) and one of the hospitals has private rooms for the patients after surgery so we decided to go to that 1 (not having to share a room with anyone else and being able to have someone stay with you i think is a PLUS) and my surgeon also has access to the Robot (advanced technology) like he called it in that hospital to work with but i got confirmation of my date within a day and then my paperwork was submitted 2 days after and approved in less than 48 hours.

That's exactly how I found out. I called them and said that my dr office submitted for bariatric surgery approval and I was checking the status and if they needed anything else. Give them a call and let us know how you make out, fingers crossed!!!!!

      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.
