So I was on fedelis through this entire process. Every test was done and I was so ready for my surgery date. Called my insurance company yesterday to find out if my Dr sent my forms in only to be told my insurance was canceled! Apparently I make too much at my job these day to be eligible for it anymore.

Thankfully I'm coming up on three months being at my job, this entitles me to there insurance. As anyone would be I'm nervous now worrying about this new insurance coving my surgery. Thank goodness a co worker with me is going through the same process I am and has our company insurance. There covering her all the way thank god! So hopefully by next week I will have my day! Cross your fingers for me please and say a little prayer :)

Wishing you the best! I just enrolled in my company's health insurance also. My Hubs insuranceexcludes it, and he's retiring in 2 weeks anyway, so I'm paying the big bucks for PPO for the first time in my working lifetime. Can't wait for January 2nd to enroll in the insurance company's bariatric plan and schedule my appt with the Bariatric Center. Been prepping for this all summer with monthly Dr visits (they want 6 months of this) getting my sleep study done, along with a shiny, brand new cpap machine. Now it's hurry up and wait. I'll be watching for your updates. Keep us newbies posted! ;)

I did the whole six months with my other insurance. I was so pissed when I heard they canceled me! From what I was told as long as you meet all the requirements there should be no problems coving the surgery. I'll cross my fingers for u as well!

      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.
