I just went through this. If the papers were faxed there is an electronic receipt. They have 30 days which they can approve or deny. My insurance took 29 of the days to approve. Both the patient care coordinator and we were calling and just getting the run around. We documented every call so the next time we callec and they said they had no record , , we read ours. Sudflenky they woukd find the paoer work. A call to customer servive was helpful. Hang in there .

I would guess we have the same carrier of insurance. Waiting is the hardest. If you meet all the criteria it will pass through. Try to think of something else. I took on a huge sewing project during my wait so some days flew by.

In my experience, you need to stay on top of your doctors team. They have a lot of patients and at this time of year, everyone is trying to get their surgery in before the end of the year (insurance deductibles). The squeaky wheel gets the grease....

It took one of my dr's 4 weeks to get my report in. When it came to getting paid tho they had to have my credit card on file and charged my card before my visit. $250.00. So I know how you feel! Finally all my paperwork is turned in and waiting on approval.

      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.
