I know I probably shouldn't be asking this but Anyone who is a believer& prays .. I need it ! Today I spoke with my surgery coordinator she submitted all my info for surgery approval and minutes later they denied!! Because they said I didn't meet qualifications from last 3 years bmi

She said she had no idea why they did this because that wasn't true I did! Also I have sleep apnea that requires Cpap ..they told her to mail in my paperwork and they would review it...she said if they deny again the surgeon would speak to medical director on my behalf..I need for then to approve this request this time..I so have my hopes up and want this so badly! I feel selfish for whining about this but I am so broken hearted and depressed! :...(

This is not a selfish request. You have a right to ask for prayers. If you've made the BMI over the last three years, and its documented, I would think the insurance co will be reconsidering your resubmitting of these documents to show proof. I can't imagine how you feel. Just hang in there and I'm sure it will all work out for the best. My prayers are with you and please keep me updated on the status of your approval. Good luck & God bless.

Prayers on the way. I was denied twice before my approval. Keep pushing, insurance companies would like you to give up and walk away. It will work out in the end. This is just a bump in the road.

I would look at it another way - you said your coordinator and surgeon will take care of things. Trust in their office because it sounds like the doc believes this is right for you. So keep the faith and let them do their jobs. In the meantime focus on eating right and exercise. Start making the life style changes now.

Oh and prayers will be said for you! I know it is hard and frustrating to hurry up and wait, but we have ALL been there!

      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.
