Submitted request for bypass today. Really hoping for a quick approval. I am having my surgery done at St Vincent bariatric center of excellence in Carmel, IN. Anyone else had/having surgery there?

So anxious!!

How could you tell it was submitted? I'm hoping my paperwork was sent in yesterday and now I'm just waiting. Not sure how long it takes for them to get it into the system and review for approval. I'm nervous. Scheduled for 1/18 in NC

Well I submitted it to the insurance specialist at my doctors office. So it should be sent in. I have anthem through the state insurance. Who do you have? Let me know when you hear something!
I don't have a date yet☹️ that's what I'm hoping for with approval!

I am waiting to hear back about transferring there. Dr Diaz is who my friend recommended. I started at Community North but it's just not a good fit.

I just found out from my insurance company they have the authorization request. Now I'm just waiting. They told me to call back on Thursday but I'll probably call tomorrow evening :) I'm very anxious especially since I need to make arrangements for next week if everything goes as planned. I haven't told my work yet so I need to give them a heads up that I'll be out but don't want to tell them anything unless I get approval.

Have you heard anything?

      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.
