Insurance called to tell me I was approved!



Recommended Posts

Has this happened to anyone else? My insurance company called to tell me that my surgery was approved for October 30th! Which is awesome, however I haven't heard from my surgeon yet to even let me know of the surgery date!

Of course now that I have been approved I am starting to freak out thinking about the what if's and being a mom of two young kids. Please calm me down, I'm in my 30's and and pretty healthy just heavy!

Such an exciting phone call! Don't get caught in the "what ifs". Hopefully you have done all of your research so you know the things to do. The hard part is making the decision, so that's done. Now, just focus on your future in your new life. You are going to LOVE it!

Thanks ladies! Hopefully I hear back from my surgeon next week! I know this is the best thing for me. Just nervous because it's actually happening now. I honestly cannot wait to be able to run around with my toddlers and actually keep up with them!

Congrats! Don't let the doubts start creeping in now. From my own perspective at 10 weeks out, definitely the best thing ever! 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.
