Hang in there. Your doctor office should have a barometric insurance specialist. Her job is to help you get approved. I have heard of people personally writing insurance. Keep pushing for yourself and a better life. Don't give up.

I have felt defeated with the red tape but I can see the light at end of tunnel. Every now in then...lol

Where you from?

Don't worry I was denied in April, I appealed it and just found out on Monday that my appeal was approved. Hang in there. Everything happens when it's supposed to. You'll have your surgery sooner than you know! ????

Hang in there. There's no way around the waiting, but you will reach your goal of surgery. And it will have been more than worth whatever you had to go through!

I know how you feel. I had a consultation with a surgeon and go figure he decided to leave the area. They told me they were interviewing another experienced surgeon and to call back in a few weeks. Needless to say six weeks later he still had not been interviewed. Finally he was interviewed on 7.10 and now i am waiting to see if he even accepted the position. After that I'm going to have to research him. I'm not waiting much longer, I will just have to travel further away. This point is you are not the only one with frustrations! Good Luck!

      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.
