7Days Left & Still No Authirization :/



Recommended Posts

My pre-op is tomorrow, surgery on 5/22 & Istill haven't been given a solid approval. Work knows I'm having surgery-just told them about the hernia repair, they don't need to know anything else. Haven't told my kids and I think I'm driving my hubby crazy with the "what ifs?". HELP!

Men!! Mine is negative about everything. I had the endoscopy done today before I even got tested he said they gonna find something. Guess what??? I'm perfect nothing wrong with me. What's next the day if surgery (god forbid) he's gonna say I'm gonna die.

luckily my hubby is really supportive being that he had the RNY 2 years ago. he hasn't been able to make it to many appointments, but will be there for the surgery and after. that being said, he's not a worrier-i am! ugh...i just don't like being uncertain when i already had to tell work because it's so close. we had a death in the family so i've missed time this week, tomorrow is pre-op so more time missed...and i'm trying to make sure my desk is in a managable state for my back-up to take over, plus i just applied for another job within the agency. bleh..no wonder i have heartburn, lol ;p in the words of my kids, i think i'm going a little "cray-cray" o_O

Hopefully since they haven't told you whether or not you've been approved hopefully you have been and they haven't told you anything because they figured you would just figure it out lol as I say no news is good news!!

      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.
