This wait is killing me!



Recommended Posts

The Dr's office submitted to insurance 7/3, but because of the 4th, they didn't actually "receive" it until Friday 7/5. They require 5 business days. So, hopefully I will have an answer today! I'm going to call again this afternoon. I've been pestering the insurance company to death! Making sure they had what they needed and when I should expect an answer. I will be soo disapointed if I'm denied. But the nurse said she would be extrememly surprised if I was. She said everything she sent met their criteria for surgery. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

The waiting is murder, first the wait for auth, then the wait for surgery... I filed my time reading everything I could about weight loss surgery, studying all the guidelines, going to support groups.

      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.
