NOVEMBER 2013 Surgeries



Recommended Posts

Just got home and got message from my surgeon's office. They said my insurance called and need some thing else. I wonder what else they need! Good thing I have tomorrow off and I can call them back. So scared! I thought I had everything submitted. What do they need???? Anybody else have this happen?

I had to submit some blood work, a gallbladder ultrasound, six months of diets, a letter of medical necessity and a psych eval. I didn't start trying to get this surgery until 9/24, I had six months of dieting proof from my doctor, hell, I have a two years of monthly visits from my doctor, because I had been trying to avoid this surgery. But its been useless. And now that I am ready to take this next step, my heart is in it. I hate this. I hope it is a simple question, and it is no biggie! Trying to stay positive. I will let you know tomorrow!

      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.
