AND THE WAIT BEGINS...



Recommended Posts

I went to see my surgeon today it was also the last required appointment with NUT.

All required testing are completed the blood work, EKG, chest X ray, H-pylori breath test, sleep study, cardiologist clearance, psychiatrist clearance, psychologist clearance.

All my paperwork will be submitted to my insurance company and now I just have to wait to see if I'm approved for surgery.

Doctor said the patient navigator will be giving me a call with surgery date.

Time went by fast and another 1 or 2 won't hurt to wait for decision.

Well I found out that my package has not yet been sent for approval to BCBS. The surgeon is waiting for clearance from the cardiologist and I have an appointment to see her on 02/11/16.

The patient navigator said as soon as they get that the surgeon will sign off on it and then it will be sent out for approval.

And the wait continues..... :D

      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.
