That is super fast! What insurance do you have? My insurance requires a 6 month process. I started everything back in Nov.



I started the process in feb and surgery is next month. Waiting on final approval from insurance company.

I just found out I was approved and my surgery is scheduled for April 17th. I was really shocked that my approval only took about 24 hours [emoji15].
Now it is getting real!

What insurance do you have? I have BC/BS of IL and my approval came within five hours. She submitted in the morning and by two she had an approval. Hopefully you'll hear something soon, if not today!! Fingers crossed for you :780_sparkling_heart:

Thanks. I have Tricare Prime. I can't wait to hear back. It's normally 24 hours for them. I think they're waiting for my upper gi that I'm getting done right now. I'm waiting to be called in. Then I'll probably hear back next week. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. My younger brother is getting married in June so I'm looking forward to lose a good amount of weight before I head out to cali.

Don't forget, after all your testing is done and you're officially waiting for approval, you can call the insurance company to check on your status. Sometimes they will approve you, but take a day or two before sending something out.

I'm too excited about getting a good amount of weight off by fall. It will be nice to go through a corn maze and not want to collapse twenty minutes in.

That's good to know thanks. Maybe I'll call them on Monday.

I know the feeling. I can't wait to just be able to go back out to play with the kids. I was in the Army and I just want to go back to my old self and show them momma used to be a soldier and she's now back to her old self.
Running through a corn maze sounds like fun!

My tentative date is April 26th. They are just waiting to get the approval to confirm and schedule my last meeting with my surgeon to go over questions and with my nurse to go over what my pre open diet will consist of.

      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.
