I applied last month and just called the other day to check on it. They are backed up and I am still waiting for them to verify coverage. I called my insurance and they said supplements aren't covered :( we will see if somehow they bill differently to get them covered. I have BCBSIL

Yes, mine did. I have CIGNA Open Access Plus. Received my drinks quickly after approval. They also tried to get me to get me to get some scar cream which I refused. I did get the VItD with Folic Acid, but need to cancel that as I realized I don't need them with the multi's I'm taking.

Yea they called me and offered other Vitamins and the scar cream as well and asked if I wanted it if my insurance will cover it. I said yes if its covered. But they said I should hear back in a week or 2.

      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.
