Nervous after reading about insurance denials!



Recommended Posts

So after going through some of these post I'm super nervous and confused as to how after meeting initial requirements and getting the clearances can your insurance still deny you.??? Just makes me nervous for when I have to submit paper work. I would hate to go through 6 months of this for nothing.

They denied me at first saying I didn't have enough proof of being overweight for more than 3 years. My surgeon's office filed am appeal and I was approved 3 weeks later. Just please don't let it discourage u if u don't get an approval at first. I did and I gained 10 lbs back only to be approved the second time. If I regret anything, it's letting that disapproval get to me. Good luck and no worries.

Wow congrats I'm very excited for this journey for sure...its just the thought that after I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off to get things done lol...but there's still no guarantee my insurance won't give me issues..but I'm prayerful thanks for the kind words.

      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.
