Hey- I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow. The 1 question that just occurred to me is if I will have to paid anything out of pocket during my checkin tomorrow. It's Sunday and I didn't ask. Does anyone have blue cross blue shield and had to pay a co-pay during their checkin?$

Most bcbs insurance actually have their policy to state you can not be charged a Co pay and you must be sent a bill that has been processed by insurance. At least that is how my dad's ppo bcbs works. It's a little different if your an hmo.

Good luck! Mine is 1 week from tomorrow.

HI All,

Hope everyone is recovering well. I am scheduled for Friday. I am flying to Tijuana on Thursday. Preop diet has gone well. Down 8 lbs.

Was there anything you recommend packing for the hospital?

Tips for Post OP?

Thanks.

      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.
