@@christo5 Not only did I feel like that I did it ! I bugged them so much they said they weren't allowed to call me with results only send a letter that they actually did call me with my approval! I guess they didn't want to hear my lovely voice anymore!!

Surgery is 11/3. I. Only my liquid diet. I would probably still be waiting for a letter...I'm not a patient person in some respects.

I called my insurance twice. The first the rep said there was no paperwork submitted. I called my case manager right after that call. The second time I called them, I got my approval. I knew before my case manager lol. Shut, I never received that approval letter either lol. I totally feel what you guys are going through.

Mine was submitted on 9/24. Then they asked for more records on 10/3 ... which they received on 10/6, but, apparently this restated my 3 to 15 working day clock. Still waiting ... I'm climbing the walls. :-/

I attempted to call my insurance company yesterday, and I wasn't making any progress at all!! On the bright side, I checked the mail and ended up getting my approval letter.

Good luck to those still waiting for a yay or nay!

Waiting is the worst! I hope you all find out soon. Waiting for approval, even though we know we all did everything right and jumped through all the hoops, is nerve racking.

Good Luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
