I am nervous it has been almost a month since I have finished everything I need to get approved. But I have not heard from the clinic I have been calling almost every day. I keep getting the say line it is in review by the director. I am not sure if I messed up somewhere. I'm scared that they will tell me no

Think positive. If it is meant to be it will happen. I had a surgery date the first day I met with the surgeon and after all the appointments and tests it wasnt until 2 days before surgery that my ins co approved me. If you have done everything required of you then don't worry.

Unless you hear the word "denied" you have every right to hope for a positive outcome. Hang in there. My fingers are crossed! ????

Can you just call your insurance company and check the status?

I called my insurance and they have not sent it back in for the insurance company to review it so I'm not sure what they are doing

Try to get ahold of someone in the office. They may not have sent it in. I know my friend's kept getting bumped to the bottom for some reason and it finally took her going to the place and watching them fax it to her insurance to get them to do it. Some places also take longer if there's a lot of people going for it

Go in to the clinic. Ask how many patients ahead of you and when they will send your papers in. Your approval from ins is only good temporarily so they may be waiting to send in your papers based on the number of clients ahead of you.

      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.
