Awaiting ins approval...



Recommended Posts

So my surgeons office finally submitted all my paper work for prior authorization I've only been waiting 2 weeks for them to finally submit it!!!!

I'm extremely worried that it won't get approved, I think bc I want this so badly. I'm Worried about getting a denial...

I've been praying and hoping all day for an approval so if anyone gets a free minute to say a prayer for me it would be greatly appreciated!!!

@@bridget1015 Congrats, I am envious. My records got submitted to insurance yesterday so I am trying to be patient and play the waiting game. It's not easy when you have been working so long to get to this point and to know that it may have all been for nothing, you are at the mercy of the insurance company. Oh well, keeping good vibes going.

OMG right after I posted this the Dr. office called and I was approved!! December 2nd is my day!! I have an appt. for my endoscopy at the end of this month and one class and some labs and my pre-op physical in November and then my 2 week liquid diet starts Nov 18th and I am on my way to the losers bench! So excited!! I hope everyone else gets approved this fast, I am blown away!

Chip305 I def know the feeling I was really worried I'd get denied and had my hopes up for nothing. I'm very surprised how fast my ins approved it and very thankful. I have an appt with the nutritionist tomorrow and buy all my stuff for my 9 day pre op liquid diet and to get stuff for after surgery. I'll hopefully know my date in a week or so! Thanks for the prayers and good luck wishes!! Good luck to you guys I'll pray for u also!!

I am also waiting for approval. My last appt with NP and NUT was 9/25. My paperwork should have been submitted on 9/29, but i'm not sure if it has. I'll call the office tomorrow to check status. Hopefully I hear something soon. I'm losing my motivation :(

Don't lose your motivation hun. I have been there before and it was not good. I already had gotten approved with my previous insurance and then they decline me a week later. I know this waiting game sucks but it will all work out.

      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.
