Betty,

So glad for you!

I am now trying to get in to see Dr. Provost as well. So I will try to keep in touch with you.

Just as I got everything in to Dr. Richard Carter in Arlington, received letter that he is no longer accepting BC/BS. They said that my insurance co. would pay the hospital fee, just not Dr. Carter. I was told that I could pay him $6,000.00 in cash and get it done. No thanks, I would go to Mexico 1st before I give him any cash.

Funny thing, insurance company can find everything I sent them, but nothing from the Docs office.

Bummer. Insurance directed me to Dr. Provost and I called and they are mailing "the packet" to me. Nothing like filling out these packets over and over.

Does anyone out there besides me, feel that some Doc offices really don't like to help us out.

I am in the medical profession and I don't treat my patients this way.

Sorry to ramble. It is so frustrating!

Betty, good luck and keep posting!

Terri

Terri - You will love Dr. Provost and his whole staff. I had a great experience while I was there the first time. I have to go back for my pre-op next Tuesday, so I will post and let you know how that went. He is a very busy doctor, but he is one of the best. I am really glad I chose him.

Congrats ILUVHARLEYS!

Only eleven days. Hear that dramatic music in the background?

And the timing is perfect. Winterize the ride, and next year you'll be able to accelerate even faster!

Thanks, I don't think I am ready to put my bike away, but I probably will anyway. We usually ride most of the year here in Texas. This year I will just take it easy. lol

I hope you are getting your ducks all in a row and will be right behind me. Keep me posted!

      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.
