Finished all requirements... Now I wait.



Recommended Posts

I finally finished all my requirements! Everything has been submitted to my insurance..... The wait begins! This is going to be the longest 2-4weeks lol. To be honest before I started this process I never thought about WLS, then my doctor recommended it due to my PCOS, insulin resistance my heart condition (leaky valve), family history of diabetes (I'm pre diabetic) and heart attacks (my dad and uncle had one last year, both my grandfather's died of heat attacks) . I always thought it was the 'easy way out' but seriously since going through the last 5 months of nutrition visits, Trainor visits, changing my eating habits, logging my food, all the tests, the support groups ect... it's def not easy, its a complete lifestyle change. You gotta be 100% committed. I'm glad I started this journey. I'm thinking surgery will be sometime in April. Anyone else waiting for approval!?.... Impatiently haha

Waiting here for approval too. Just finished my last hurdle EGD today. They (dr’s Office) called me last week and said they have sent everything to my insurance company. So fingers crossed maybe next week I’ll get a reply. So patiently waiting in Texas

      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.
