Now the waiting game....



Recommended Posts

I finally made it to the day that I can have the Insurance Cordinator submit my paper work, I now see what everyone was talking about when they said your anxiety was high while waiting on a yes or no. I am very hopeful that I will get an approval but theres that little thought that keeps saying nope not you. I just keep praying about it and keeping my hopes that I will get good news.

Thank you for posting. All that I can say is that I totally relate. It seems that this whole three month program is a waiting game. Waiting for this one to approve you, waiting for that one to approve you. We must really want this badly to be jumping through all these hoops. Congratulations.

Congrats and good luck! I had my final medical clearance and insurance coordinator submitted for me this past week as well. I am freaking out. Worried if I don't get approved I'll sabotage myself and emotional eat to kingdom come. I am hoping for a positive outcome and the soonest surgery date possible lol. I started this process in March but since I live in a small state the appointments are always filled and most doctors have a 30 day waiting time for appointments.

Here's to hoping we both get good news soon!

How did I get over the nervous feeling? I didn't. I have a bit of free-floating anxiety each day. I mark the days on my calendar. I just do anything to keep busy and keep with my program so that they will have no excuse to extend my date or not to do the surgery. This thing is always on my mind. Ugh :blink:

Good luck to us all.

I'm still here. Went to the mandatory support group meeting tonight.

I'm feeling more positive that this is actually going to happen. But, then I'm afraid to believe that this is going to happen for fear that I will be disappointed if they don't approve me.

For the most part, though, I decided to go more w the positive feelings.

Prayers for us all.

The waiting game sucks. I am on the final wait. I have my approval, surgery date just waiting for that day to get here. Each waiting stage had it's own set of anxiety. None of it fun

      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.
