I don't know why no one will answer me when I ask questions, I've posted a few things and no one helps me with anything. Why not?

I don't know about them, but mine took 2.5 weeks. But from what I read your insurance CO is quicker.

My insurance approved in about 1 week

Turn around time requirements for insurance is 15 calendar days. I'm not familiar with the ABH process, but I think it's reasonable to check in at a week after submission. If it's been over 15days and you still don't have an answer try to have the case escalated for quicker review.

I have blue cross/blue shield of Illinois and my approval came within five hours. What I suggest doing is call your insurance company. They could've already approved you but haven't sent the letter yet. Actually, I got my letter a week after the approval. I only knew because the case manager for my surgeon's office called me to let me know it happened so quick.

      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.
