Waiting on approval



Recommended Posts

Called my insurance Tuesday and they said nothing had been submitted and when it does it will take 10 days for a decision. Then I called today and was told they received it Tuesday and would have a decision in 2 business days . Hope that's true I am ready. Can't wait to start this journey :) crossing my fingers for them to approve it.

I'm still waiting on mine too. My coordinator told me she was sending it to insurance on the 3rd, I contacted my insurance on the 12th & they told me she only started it & didn't complete it. I called my coordinator on Monday to get an update on the 15th but she hasn't contacted me back. I'll call my insurance tomorrow again to double check.

It's crazy if u don't keep on them then it seems like it takes forever . My insurance keeps saying that my provider will contact me when it's been approved but I know that sometimes all they do is mail a letter .

I rather keep checking through my insurance since I don't get the same person every time. Lol. I'll call my coordinator on Monday again if nothing has changed. I'm aiming to have surgery in August/ Late July if possible.

      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.
