Mimi1986 9 Posted May 6, 2014 I plan on calling my insurance at least once a week and I am pretty sure they are already tired of hearing from me because I have called them soooo many times in the last 7 months. They are a labor union thru my husband's work so I have nooo idea what to expect with them. I call and ask a million questions just to make sure I have done everything thats required. I am also super nervous they are going to deny me. I have been working on this since early November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockhb 19 Posted May 7, 2014 4 weeks from today! I'm ready for this. I have had a few food funerals and I start my pre-op diet on 27May. I'm trying to wean off caffeine and soda. I'm a Diet Dr Pepperholic. I'm thinking I dont want cafeeine withdrawl and start liquid diet at the same time. So far I think I'm the first date of the group. Looking for a buddy around 3 June. 2 amc2014 and Drummergirl505 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drummergirl505 7 Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks Ladies! I will keep bugging my insurance everyday until they approve. Lockhb--just a suggestion, I was a huge Diet Coke junkie and have now stopped drinking all sodas. What I did was switch to iced tea with different flavors/lemon/ raspberry sugar free. This helped me from suffering from caffeine withdrawal headaches. Then I started lowering the amount of tea per day I was drinking. I am now down to one cup per day. GOOD LUCK with it! It was hard for me first week but now I tried a drink of diet coke and it tastes horrible!! 1 lockhb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoesmom 7 Posted May 7, 2014 Hey ladies! Just got off the phone with the insurance coordinator and I should get a call within the next two weeks! So excited! Technically I haven't been approved yet....but she foresees no complications in that department! Looking forward to a June date!!! Good luck to all my fellow June hopefuls!! 1 2cute2bbig reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockhb 19 Posted May 8, 2014 I found a new drink called bai5 has 10 cal per bottle and it is sweetened with Stevia. It is anitioxidant infusions and my favorite is peach and mango. If anyone finds where you can purchase by the case let me know. I was thinking of mixing unflavored Protein Powder in with it for post surgery. They are a little pricey but taste far better than crystal light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stacyann81 31 Posted May 9, 2014 Hi! Just found out my surgery date (June 2nd!!) I was originally supposed to have surgery in may but my insurance company put me through hell trying to decide if they would pay for it. it's been such a roller coaster ride getting here but now I'm so excited. I found out on the 27th what my pre-op diet will be and I think it will seem more real then. Right now it seems so far away but 3.5 weeks isn't a whole lot of time. My biggest challenge right now is not gaining back all the weight I had to lose before surgery because I feel like I need to eat this or that one last time. Anyone else having that problem?
