OMG. The waiting is soooooo hard. My surgeons office submitted all the paperwork to the Insurance Company on March 5, 2013. Exactly one week ago and its killing me!! Still pending authorization. Any idea how long United Health Care takes in reality? They say 7-10 days. But I'm so impatient! Ughh

I had a different insurance but i just tried to put it out of my mind. Knowing my company can take up to 15 days helped my mind some. But i also was very busy with traveling with hockey and state championship games so it sorta took it off my mind.

I am keeping myself busy too. I had a call from my doctors office on Monday and they told me that it had been submitted, not sure exactly what day but I am going with Monday. Trying not to think about it, except when I check this. I started to redo my sons bedroom to keep myself extra busy.

I kept myself busy also but my mind on it at the same time. But my mind was totally on something else the weekend and there goes my letter in the mail on that Monday. Continue to be patient it will come.

      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.
