Today everything was sent into my insurance. I have BCBS Michigan. I'm nervous but have been told there's no need to worry! I guess I'm just nervous because I'm only 19. I am 5'8 and 368lbs though. If approved (fingers crossed) I can't wait to get a date! I am so excited and ready like nothing before. My insurance only required a psychological evaluation and medical clearance from my primary health care physician. That's not that much stuff at all. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing lol This is my first post on here and I would love to make some pals! I have too much excitement and anticipation to keep it to myself. How long do you think it would take to get approved and get a date? I know all insurance companies are different. Thank you for any info or experience you can share :)

I have BCBS of IL and I'm not required as much as a lot of people on here from their insurance. I would say you will hear something within two weeks, maybe ten days. You will be scheduled according to how busy your surgeon is. Let us know, God Bless!!!

      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?

      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.
