You must be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to meet the insurance companies requirements! Even with several co morbidities, and a back that needs surgery, I HAD to wait my 6 months! Wish they would come up with a better system!

I would think so too but we are such a small company that we don't even have FMLA. I think they can get by with this stuff because they're so small.

You should look for a new job while you're off :) new beginnings after all.. lol

I guess between my endocrine and sleep ap doc's labs and notes from the past three years, plus all the surgeries must of did a favor for me. I just had another mri on my back and may be facing another back surgery. I thought for sure anthem would say i needed a six month diet.

I have anthem as well! I guess they may have approved me early, but my surgeon is against submitting early. They want to have everything the insurance requires in order, so the chances of quick approval are better. Make sense I guess, even tho the waiting sucks!

Like i said I'm just amazed it was so fast. Because they were jerks when i needed my last back surgery. Plus my husbands employer took wls off the policy last year and added it back on this year.

I'm having surgery for health reasons mostly and then second too get my life back and be active and not so self conscious. My third reason is to find a new job. Be kind to your insurance people because they don't like it either... I work in insurance, but not regular healthcare and it sucks. Insurance is one of the most stressful jobs there is...

Well I started in November and my doc gave me a surgery date of April 29. I still need pulmonary clearance (3/20) and have to see the heart care group (3/28) and psych eval (4/5). They will submit to the insurance on 4/10 after my last weigh in and appt with doc. Starting to get nervous, mostly about the first few weeks post-op.

Good luck everyone!

      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.
