Good or you also u no it!!!

thank you. Just found out that I need one more thing. I have to have 2 pre-ops and 2 post-ops with the dietitian. There is always something... lol. I guess that is good, but not for the wallet. I have to pay for this service. Insurance wants it, but I have to pay for it. Really?

I completely understand I have a 5,000 deductible I am trying to reach! Just shelled out a thou out of my pocket for egd! Now because of something else dr found I have to have ultrasound scope in stomach! I am hoping that the hospital will work with me on pmt arrangements on the next thing also! But on a great note I had my psych eval today and I am cleared now for cardiac and one nut class! Whew makes me tired looking at it!

The insurance company has called my surgeon's office twice asking for the request for authorization. They were supposed to send all the documents on the 17th. I'm getting nervous now. I just want to hear "you're approved and your date is..."

      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.
