I'm in Michigan, too. My paperwork was sent into Insurance on Jan 17th, I still haven't heard back. :'( I'm hoping to hear back asap!

I keep calling my insurance company. I know they are probably tired of it but I'm anxious. Lol Hopefully we all get our approvals soon. where are you getting your procedure done?

You're not the only one anxious! I haven't called my insurance company, but I do login to my account several times a day to see if there's anything new. I see an authorization for the hospital, but that's all. Each day I wake up hopeful that I'll get that approval call.

My file was submitted to insurance 4 business days ago, after reading a lot of forums and support groups, I called the insurance line today. They said they are waiting for medical records from the doctor. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Guess who has a voicemail waiting for them tomorrow morning, my referral/insurance coordinator. We are about to be best friends.

I didn't know you could call your insurance to find out the status. So I just called and they said I need to ask my provider/doctor. I'll call tomorrow. I'm in Kalamazoo and that's also where i'll be getting my surgery. I hope everyone hears back soon. I'm really looking forward to getting my surgery date. Y'all should post here when you get your dates, too!

Oh no! I feel like I should call for mine but I don't want them getting tired of me calling every day. I just want to know already! Praying we will get our approvals soon.

I called my insurance once again this morning and was told that I will have an answer by February 6th. Apparently my file gets reviewed by a nurse before approval. Yayyyy!!!! I marked my calendar!

      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.
