Yeah... see now I feel like calling tomorrow .. Someone here that got surgery from that same hospital said they forgot to submit hers.. and almost missed her surgery.. I don’t wanna be one of the lucky ones. I will call tomorrow [emoji31].

Take “feel like” out of the sentence and “get er done.” And don’t be afraid to tell them that you’ve checked with insurance who has no record of the pre-cert submission. They should be better, but some places won’t be unless you push them.

So apparentlyI won't be having the surgery on the 20th 😕 I called the hospital and apparently I will have to pay $1300 up front with Medicare to have it done. I really wish I would have known that before. The surgeon's office told me it would only be "around a $200 deductible" I will have to call and try to get it rescheduled tomorrow. I'm super bummed.

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all doing well and are ready for the weekend!

How is everyone who already had surgery?

I'm trying to keep my chin up here. Don't know if I will hear about the insurance on Monday or not--since it was only filed yesterday. God's timing is perfect though, so I'm trying hard to just relax into the process and accept that my experience is different than the expectation--and that is ok. LOL. It's def harder than it sounds!

I may not be around as much this weekend. It's my "really big weekend!" LOL. So I will miss you guys and will check back in on Sunday.

Hugs to all!!!

@Luisajfc Don't forget to call your doctor's office!!!

Just reading about all the insurance drama is breaking my heart! I can't imagine having to jump through hoops like that. Canada may be freezing for 6 months out of the year, but I am grateful that I don't have to worry about insurance, and that my expenses are covered.

Hugs to all of you still waiting for your final approval, and sending healing thoughts for everyone who had their surgery this week. There are so many of us that I'm having a hard time keep up with it all !!

      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.
