Irritated with jumping through hoops



Recommended Posts

Nice my boyfriend keeps eating out and asking if I want anything which is frustrating lol. I keep saying no and don't really crave anything but it still sucks. He's trying to remember but he said he feels bad when he orders something and I don't and to not ask me feels rude to him. He just doesn't wanna feel like the bad guy..But damn it's twice as hard motivation wise

Hi everyone, so i went through similar problems too with kaiser. Having to take days off work=no pay for the day! Paying co pays evry damn visit, having a goal weight to meet which i couldnt do it, keep food logs, paying nutritionist to check your log, they give u 6 mnths to go through all your apts and to lose the weight needed before you can get a surgery date, i couldnt do it in the 6 mnths so it means id have to do the whole process all over again for another 6 months with what money? So i looked into surgery in MX. I did research and so i made the decision of going with self pay, it costs as much as what my co pay with insurance was going to be. My surgery is on March 1st. So far im happy i went somewhere else. I hope things get better for you Zoe

Awesome Annie! It's taken about 3 months to get this far for me how long has it taken you for approval?





So I was supposed to get it done in December. I was told to wait until March. In February I called the surgical coordinator and schedule d myself for March1st. Then I got a denial from insurance because the surgical coordinator submitted the paperwork from December that says denied, wait until March. So my surgery was two weeks away and I panicked. I called the psychologist and he asked to see me again, that same day her wrote his report and by the next day it was approved.

I'm so impatient I've been waiting since December as well. It's great that the reapproval happened so fast for you...I guess it feels like it might not happen until it's actually happening





I feel you. Even as I was going through the approval process I was still like uh oh what else might happen. I feel like jumping through hoops takes the excitement away. But I hope the best for you and as long as you do what you're told as far as therapy and such there should be no reason to hold you back. Also I called the insurance once I knew the report was submitted just to double check it wasn't going to be lost in a pile of paperwork. Best of luck!

      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.
