I have been approved!!!! :dance: I got a call today from my docs office. Carefirst/BCBS approved me w/2 requirements that need to be met. (1) Psych eval and (2) 6 months documented weight loss effort.

I have no problem w/either of these requirements. The psych eval will be easy to get done and the documented weight loss effort will be the year I spent at Curves. My docs office said all I have to do is bring the receipt/contract agreement. I'm also asking them to print out how often I came in (b/c you have to scan your membership card before you workout.)--just for extra info. They also said if I had any Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers logs, that would be acceptable, too.

:whoo:Woohoo!!!!:whoo:

*singing* I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it...I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!!!

I'm very excited for you...

I have empire BCBS of DE and I'm still waiting for my approval ... or for any word at all. Everything was sent to them about a week and a half ago. I sent them my gym billing records for the past year and a half for proof of my attempt to lose weight... HOPEFULLY that'll work.

The statistics on sanity are that.... 1 out of every 4 ppl are suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your 3 best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

OhioChick... I can't stop laughing...

      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.
