waiting for my insurance approval...



Recommended Posts

since I decided to the the surgery the whole process has gone quite quickly, that is until this week. I have completed all the requirements and just waiting to here back from insurance. the nurse at my surgeon office said in her experience that it should only take a week and my insurance hasn't denied anyone since she done the submitting. yet I'm still so nervous. I can't stop thinking about getting that phone call!

so I just got a phone call from my insurance company saying that my request for inpatient hospital services was approved. it was an automated service so I dnt know if that's my surgery or not. I dnt know if I should call my insurance company or should I call my surgeons office to figure out what that meant. I don't want to seem like I'm bugging them but I'm freaking out wanting to know lol

When I got my approval letters I got 2 separate ones, one was stating the approval for the gastric sleeve itself , the other was the approval letter for the impatient hospital stay! But u must have been approved , because what else would the hospital stay be for! Good luck! I hope your date is soon!

      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.
