Hi I've never posted but follow along with the post. I've been at this process for 7 months now. Today all my paperwork was submitted to insurance and I was told by my insurance company that it is already under nurse review and the last seemed surprised. She said I would hear back in 2 days. Im just wondering if this is good or bad. Im so scared I will be denied.

Feel like you're perched on the edge of a razor blade, don't you? Your chances are good that it will be fine, this must be National Irritate the Client Day, AshMarie's Blue Care is doing equal things to her, her surgery is already scheduled for Wednesday and now they are pulling a balk on her. Seems it's between her PCP, surgeon and the insurance company and each blames the other. [emoji404]And AshMarie is caught in the middle. Gosh I hope it gets resolves, she is too nice for this to happen to.[emoji14][emoji415]

Are you using your insurance? The reason I am asking is it could be that you Surgical team is putting together the forms and data that your insurance will want and usually the insurance company drags their feet a little. I would suggest contacting your insurance company and seeing if the paperwork was submitted and approved. They actually can tell you.

Also if you are paying out of pocket, then most likely, they are trying to schedule everything you would need. Usually, they will provide you with a packet containing your last bit of information. That includes time and date of surgery and all the information you will for before and after surgery.

      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.
