You go dawnie. Sending prayers up and praying blessings flow down. I am still getting the runaround. Nothing still submitted to my insurance company and it's been two weeks. Thinking about switching my doctor. Tomorrow is my breaking point if they still haven't submitted. :-0

Sending prayers your way as well. Let me know how things go.

So, it seems like I may have to do my nutritional visits over again. The new bariatric program is much more strict regarding their testing and requirements...which is a good thing. However, all of this pushes me back even more! Smh Oh the wait!!!!

Well dawnie updates on me. I had a surgery date for July 11th. Unfortunately that has been postponed. My doctor didn't have a complete 90 days of appointments of me being on the program. I need one more appointment for the month of June which thank God I was able to get a last minute appointment on June 30th. Then I have to do an end of program appointment with my doc to discuss my progress on the program and anything relating to surgery in general. Then they will submit the remaining info to Aetna on my open case and reach a decision then. Hopefully I can have approval and a surgery date by end of July or early August. Trying to stay prayed up and keep my faith.

      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.
