WAITING AND GETTING ANTSY



Recommended Posts

I had my final appointment in Mooresville NC last Wednesday and was so excited hoping I would hear something by this week...called the insurance company yesterday and they said they had not received my claim yet then called my doctor and they said could take up to THREE WEEKS after final appointment before they submit because it can take that long to get the report from the psych evaluation and then I am at the mercy of the insurance company!!! I know this is a long process and patience is key but I was told that I would most likely have a surgery date by end of September and I was hoping first week of October because I have a few days off school!! I'm getting so antsy at the waiting and I really won't even know when it's submitted and I don't want to bug the docs office by constantly calling!!! It's frustrating so im turning to my fellow sleevers for some words if wisdom......

You're almost there just think back to when this journey first began and how excited and anxious you were. Just thinking about your final appointment alone probably made you feel antsy, at least that's how it is with me lol. I still have 4 1/2 months to go to even get my paper work submitted <_<. But don't worry its coming you're almost at the finish line to start your new life.

      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.
