I am approved! Surgery on September 15th



Recommended Posts

I took two weeks to get my approval from the insurance but I finally did! I am so excited and can't wait to see what the future holds for me. My doctors office sent out my packet today with my scripts and all my instructions. I am nervous because its getting closer and soon! I hope everyone is doing okay!!!!

What prescriptions do they give you before surgery? I got two for nausea and one for acid control. My day is Sept 15th also.

The only thing my doctor said they were sending is a script for Emend for Nausea that I take the morning of my surgery. So im not 100% sure if they will send anything else or not....they may send a script for the colon prep that way my insurance can pay but im not 100% sure on that either.

My Dr didn't say anything about doing colon prep...are you on a liquid diet before surgery? I have two weeks of liquids to look forward to.

The concoction you have to take the day before does not sound like fun. I am happy to be skipping that.

I started my liquid diet yesterday. I am already tired of having to pee constantly! I wonder it this is how it will be for the entire time until I am back on solids?

      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.
