My insurance received my paperwork today, they said I should have an approval/denial in 5 business days! Can't wait to actually have the surgery scheduled, having a solid date would make it "real" !!

My doctors office called the insurance even before he would see me and when it was approved I started the treatment 6 months ago.I am curious to find out about the hospital bill. Do I have to pay when I get admitted to it or on my way out?

I'm hoping for August. I'm traveling overseas for a wedding in October so it's either August or November. Just started this process and won't even get approved until August so I'm hoping for a miracle

Usually you will need to pay co-pay upfront before you are taken in.

I've just had a ton of work travel. Cleveland clinic florida has been patiently waiting for months for me to be here long enough to recover. Need an update clearance from my primary July 12, my pre surgery visit with surgeon Aug 5 and surgery august 10. It's all planned now. Can't wait.

Had my pcp appointment today and I'm down 5.6 lbs this month. They puts me at 20.something in the last 2 months. I've got 8 more lbs to go before my surgery and at least a month and a half to do it in so I should be fine. Best advice I can give for pre-op patients is don't wait until the 2 week diet or the surgery to start changing your eating habits. I do 2-3 Protein shakes/drinks a day and a low carb dinner. I've bee doing this for 2 months now. I have seen far far too many people flipping out when the 2 week diet time comes and not sure if they can do it and cheating. I think it's best if we prepare ourself physically and mentally. I've also gotten to try many Protein products and know which ones I do and don't like.

      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.
