Im sorry. There are always peer to peers and appeals. And Tijuana was great for me, always something to consider. I used Dr Garcia and everything was beyond my expectations

Thank you for that so it's not that bad coming out of surgery who was your dr.

Dr Garcia at CER Hospital. Excellent experience

I received my second denial. This insurance approval, either loses paperwork or adds something else to have xompleted.

I was so up set with my first one.

I think they want me to give up

I am not a quitter.

Still fighting.

Blossom Bariatrics! They are amazing. Dr Apel did my surgery and their insurance support staff are amazing. From my initial appointment to my surgery date was 4.5 weeks. I am so thankful

I found them. I originally went to Dr. Hanna and switched. Best decision I could have made.

      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.
