Hello, how exactly do we know if we were approved for the surgery? Do we receive a phone call or a letter in the mail? I recently had my endoscopy and I have a follow up appointment coming in the next few days. I am very excited to start this journey. I'm becoming very anxious waiting. What is the next step? I also go back to college tomorrow! I'm beyond ready to start this... I'm going to start going the gym to lose pre surgery weight.

I called so I knew right away, but I also got a letter in the mail a few days later so I would have known from the letter if I hadn't called first. Once I got the letter from insurance I called the Dr office to make them fit me in ASAP

My surgeons office took care of it all with the insurance company... Once I completed all requirements they submitted my package and I got an approval in two days.

I would speak with a Manager. That's inexcusable.

I am definitely in agreement with you that will be my first call tomorrow!

      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?

      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.
