I WAS APPROVED! FINALLY



Recommended Posts

I was finally approved, took forever it seems. I was so worried about my 5yr weight history since tow of the years my BMI was under 35 with no comorbidities but I got approved!! I am so happy and still waiting on a date. I was told a month ago that my surgeon may not be able to get me in till Jan but I am waiting on a call back now to see if he can get me in this year. I can not afford any more copays to go and see another surgeon.

Thank you all!!! I am very excited and I am crossing my fingers too! I guess he is so busy because he is the only WLS in the area that takes Medicaid, I didn't know that in the beginning or I would have chosen another surgeon. I have been calling his office and they said they are shifting appointments to try and fit everyone in before the new year, seems there are a lot of people wanting their surgery before the deductible sets in again. I know for sure though that it will definitely be either this year or the first of January, as long as Im approved Im not gonna complain!

      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.
