Thanks so much. I wish everyone who is still waiting for approval and to get a date the best of luck. This is a stressful process. Now Im hoping everything goes right during preop and my surgery doesnt get delayed. With my luck, anything can happen.

pamla68; Hang in there, I went thru the things with UHC also, they will come thru for you soon. :biggrin1:

Now you know you have started something right? How long did it take you to get "the letter".:paranoid

I received a phone call from UHC to say I was approved on if I remember correctly 3/29. I didnt get my letter until 4/7. The dr office got their letter before I got mine. Which most people say that they got the letter before the dr and faxed it. That wasnt the case for me. It seems that everything is going different for me than others.

I dont know if calling is standard or only after they have gave you the run around. But they do have your phone number. The claim form that the Dr. submitted would have your personal contact info as well as the info that your employer submitted when you got the insurance. I worked at Cigna for a short period of time and a phone # search is one of the ways you can look up a claim. Im sure other companies use the same type of program.

      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.
