I had my last weigh in this morning and got copies of what I thought were the last 4 missing pieces needed for insurance approval. I scanned and emailed them to my patient advocate and she called and said she is still missing one of my monthly weigh in reports and will need that before they can submit to insurance.

I have left a message for the doctor's office to send that one sheet of paper to my surgeon ASAP so hopefully that will get done today. My patient advocate said that she would go ahead and get the surgeon to review everything else so that as soon as they get that missing piece they can submit to insurance.

I am so close to this hoop jumping being over that I just want it to be over with and get my approval and surgery date!

She did say they will submit in the next day or so and that is should take about a week for approval. Hopefully it will all be over with before I know it!

Update: I just found my copy of that one missing paper and have just scanned it and sent it to the patient advocate! Fingers crossed I get submitted today!

      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.
