I as a person am always cautiously optimistic.

I am very positive but try to be realistic.

So, I am proud to say MY INSURANCE HAS OFFICIALLY APPROVED MY SURGERY!!! Thrilled and a bit shocked !

????????????????????

I remember that feeling when I first got that news. I was pretty sure they were going to approve me, but until I had it in my hand and could schedule my surgery, it was still scary!

Congrats! HUGS!

  • @Nurse_Lenora- Congratulations! What a relief, hu? I'm sorry this is in blue but I dont know how to get it to black. How long did it take for the insurance to approve you and do you have any co-morbid conditions (if you don't mind me asking). Thanks

That's fantastic!

I feel the same way you did (and I get these approved for a living, I think I know what will be approved and what won't, y'know?).

Good luck!

After we faxed the request to the correct fax number it took 2 working days to be approved. I do not have any co- morbidities

      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.
