I have a fear that I will have gone through this whole 6 month process only to get denied!! What if I get denied? I have pretty much stopped living life and have just been WAITING to live after surgery. Is this making sense? I know I shouldn't put all of my eggs in one basket and look at the possibility of getting denied and if I do, I don't have a plan B. I don't know, I think all this waiting is driving me batty!!

I felt the same way. All this time. I swear my anxiety was at an all time high waiting for the insurance to approve me. I called every other day. But I got the call and it made everything I had been doing worth it. Wish you nothing but the best!!

What does your insurance require? If you meet the criteria, you will get approved.

In that case, I should be okay, I guess it's just the fear of the unknown setting in. I've come this far and the waiting is killing me.

As of today everything is done and I hope it will be sent up to insurance early next week. Going to try and wait not too impatiently. Good thing my insurance company had a reputation of replying within a few days

@@Nikke25, have you heard anything yet? It has been super quiet here and I'm on pins & needles just waiting and wanting to hear something!

Yes. Thanks for checking. My hospital called me Monday saying they needed additional bloodwork. Just faced them the results today that were all normal. Hospital insurance said that was all they needed so hopefully they can send it to insurance.

      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.
