Want a Sleeve Buddy?

[Normaj3443 40]

I think once my Dr submitted all my requirements to my insurance, it took less than a week to get approved. I would have already had surgery, but my surgeon had some kind of surgery himself so I had to wait. He was the only Dr that takes my insurance at that facility.

I have United Healthcare. It's usually horrible getting approved for things, so I was shocked I got approved so fast even with all the requirements.

I honestly can't remember if I needed a letter from my Dr or not. It's been a year ago I started this process. My Bmi is 42 and I have co-morbidities.

I start my 14 day on March 20. I also have a 2 hour meeting with the nutritionist and other staff, an upper GI, and hospital registration. I can't eat after midnight then after my upper GI I start my liquid diet. I bought some Protein Powder and need to go buy my other liquids. Then the day before I have to do bowel prep.

When I went to see my nutritionist she gave me samples of different Vitamins and Protein Drinks and powders. I also had to have bloodwork done which showed I have a Vitamin D deficiency. She recommended I get the liquid gels and take 1000 iu a day

Sweet. Protein powders are so expensive, but they're huge containers so well worth it. I got a chocolate mocha and then I'm going to buy mint chocolate chip. I was told before I have Vitamin D deficiency, but nothing recent. I know I'll be meeting with a dietitian and the hospital pharmacist during my class on the 20th.
