I have Medco, and I just submitted. I'll let you guys know if it works. (Since I haven't see anyone mention Medco for prescription coverage)

I have Medco for my prescription coverage (blue cross for health) and they covered it for me! I got shakes Vitamins and scar cream

They will call you and let you know as soon as your insurance informs them.

I missed a call from them last night saying they were faxing my surgeon the scripts...does this mean they are covered??? They did say we have a couple questions also so give us a call back. I'm preparing to drive to NH for a funeral so I didn't call yet! I hope that first step contacting my doc was a positive sign!

Sorry no it doesn't mean you are covered. They have to get the signed script to send to your insurance company for approval.

Fingers crossed. They called today to say they were faxing my surgeon. She said as soon as they find out something they will call me back.

She asked if I was interested in the scar cream. So she has me down for premier shakes, Vitamins and scar cream. I hope it helps with my stretch marks too. Lol

Nice

I got a call yesterday that they are starting the process...but from what was mentioned here, it doesn't bode well for me that I have BC/BS :(

I haven't received any contact from them regarding my request. :( Looks like everyone else is getting pretty timely contact from them though.

      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.
