OH thank God it was resolved in time!

And just as an aside to the person criticizing and advocating self-pay -- if she HAS insurance, Bariatric surgery is a covered benefit, and she and her employer are paying in weekly on premiums, why shouldn't she expect to use that insurance and be upset that she was denied due to someone's dropping the ball on a technicality at the last minute?

I'd be hysterical!

And, we have been there. We had horrible (catastrophic) insurance the past two years; make too much to get help, don't make enough with two toddlers and bills to do anything but survive, and had to pay OOP thousands in medical gear for our daughter.

Yes, you can want it bad and self-pay -- if you have someone to watch your kids, run your household, and fill in for your missing income. Any discretionary income we have goes on helping our daughter. We're on the back-burner until she's taken care of.

Not everyone is in a position to do what you are advocating, and it doesn't mean they don't want it bad enough.

      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.
