I just got a message from my doctor's office that even though they STILL haven't gotten the results of the expedited appeal, they think it's prudent to proceed as though an approval is coming. So I'm still on the schedule for Monday afternoon, and they promise to let me know by noon if it's a go.

How will my nerves survive?? I have to fast all day until the phone call comes. This is NOT going to be fun!

But hey, it's not a no. :biggrin1:

Alexandra, I am praying for you. I don't think that the office would have you stay on hold if they didn't believe that the approval was coming, so I think that you will have a crazy with worry weekend but it will all work out. Good luck, and keep the faith!

Hooray Alexandra! I'm so happy for you. If they told you to fast, that's a HUGE sign (I work for a surgeon) that you'll be done. Good luck!

My DH can't post (or type, for that matter :confused: ) but I will definitely let y'all know if I'm going under the knife on Monday. I'm not worried one tiny iota about the surgery itself--which is kind of funny, because the first time that was ALL I was worried about.

Funny how things change. :ermm

Seppi, were you at the meeting last night? I forgot you said you were planning to be there! Are you one of the people who was there and whom I have met fifty times? Or did you not make it? :confused:

HI Alexandra,

You are so supportive and I know all of us appreciate you very much. I pray your answer from the insurance company will be favorable.

      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.
