Medi-cal or Medicaid Insurance



Recommended Posts

Hi guys im new to forum!

So my bmi is at 40.3 with no complications. I have been referred to a surgeon for gastric bypass and I have completed any requirement that my insurance may ask for. I did 6 months of a supervised diet amd got cleared by the dietician and mey with the psychiatrist and with the surgeon. Everything is clear on their end and now the only thing pending is my insurance.. the surgeon submitted the documents to them on a Tuesday of last week so it has been about 7-8 days and the surgeon told me that my file was under supervision.. i was wondering who else in California has full Medi-cal and how long it took to hear back from them. Im so anxioud and scared to get rejected...

Thank you! [emoji4]

      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.
