I'm in the same boat ladies I called my insurance company and they haven't received anything from my doctor yet so hopefully Monday when the POC that is due to submit it will be back and hopefully time will whine down I talk to my insurance company and they said that once they receive it they have 3 to 5 business days. To process it so I'm just as excited myself I've carried this weight for the past 19 years and I am being as patient as I possibly can with GOD's help.

Excited for you Joann! Hang in there and give it a full 5 business days. It usually takes insurance companies up to 2 weeks but it depends. I gave mine 5 business days before I started the phone calls , lol. Turns out they had already approved it but my letter was taking its time in the mail. Anyway, I will pray for your turn girl. You are on the home stretch! Blessings and Aloha coming your way. Thanks for the encouragement the other day. Now 3 days post op and feeling better and better. Take care.

Glad you're feeling better! It's hard to imagine being where you are right now.

I will stay patient, or at least try very hard!

She didn't sound too sure. I'm afraid to get excited. On one hand they approved the stay but they'd have approved it before my packet was even submitted? It ended up being submitted today I'm confused!IMG_1420.thumb.JPG.1d0fdea6cbbec66d37f89f9c7ed4231c.JPG IMG_1419.thumb.JPG.5c56f2ede00d40ae193bc5c0266dd7bd.JPG

      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.
