I see that some of you have your surgery scheduled before your Insurance is approved. How does the Dr. Know you will get approval. My Dr. Won't schedule my surgery till I get approved. My journey started back in August and it was fairly simply compared to most I have read. I am waiting on approval right now. Just wondering!

I think they just need to give the insurance an experienced surgery date.

Thank you to everyone who kept there fingers crossed for me. Thanks for being there for me as I whined about getting denied. Just think... In 2 weeks I will have my surgery and I couldn't be more excited. I started my 2 week liquid diet today. All I can say is wow...but I can do this...I can do this because I want this, I need this. Good luck to everyone. I will keep you up to date on everything.

Any word on your MichelleW1?

I saw my surgeon today and should be sent for approval today or tomorrow. Surgery is set for Nov 13th. I feel like this is my last big hoop to jump through. So nervous.

Have you heard anything yet? Thinking about you. :)

michellew1,

I am SO happy for you! I also have Aetna and have one more weigh-in to go. Following this thread has been extremely stressful for me as my final weigh-in gets closer and closer. A week after the weigh-in, I see the surgeon to make sure everything is done before it's sent to Aetna. After reading your story, I am very much toeing the line diet wise and will until the day of surgery! Good luck to you and hopefully I won't be too far behind you!

      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.
