Nice to see your approval. I have tricare as well. I've been saving pics of the rashes I get as I go along. I'm a long way from reconstruction surgery though.

I work for insurance and you have to use methods to treat it ... The dr has to state you tried conservative measures before most ins will pay for it, sucks ... So my advice is taking lots of pictures and unfortunately let it get worse...

My insurance is Tricare (military), so my case has been well documented.

I love Tricare South. They are easy to work with. My Bariatric Coordinator has the easiest time with them out of all insurances.

After being done with children, I plan on submitting for skin reconstruction, as well.

      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.
