Wow I just love having to do the Dr.'s work and the insurance's work for them!!! I called the Dr to see if they had submitted my paperwork to insurance, and come to find out they wanted me to see the psych one more time...nice of them to tell me...then I had to call the insurance company because the two times I saw the psych they denied as out of network....but guess what...she is...so they are having to resubmit the claim...I just need to have this over with!!!!!

Also on a side note, was extremely embarrassed today! Went to give blood and found out I'm too fat. MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR THE RED CROSS!!! I flipped out on him!! Why didn't he tell me the weight limit???? He could have saved me a whole lot of embarrasment!!!

I just called and I can't get back into the pysch until July 1. I was hoping to actually have my surgery that week. I'm just so freaking dissapointed!!! I don't understand why they want me to see her again, when she cleared me.

Never heard of their being a weight limit to donate blood... I've never had any issues.

Wow, guess I slid by (without lying about my weight none the less) when I weighed at least 375... Guess the were happy to get my blood! They sure call me once a week now for it!

I think I'd have taken the black mark and gave my hubby a good bop in the nose....even if at church! LOL

According to the Red Cross, there is no upper limit on weight when donating, however, there may be a weight limit for the donor bed/lounge they are using. So perhaps that was the problem?

      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.
