How many of you guys were told it would take a month to get approval for your surgery and you got it before then? Also how long was it actually...?

Sorry fairy - I pm'd you with my info. I had some creepy people (damn Plain for figuring me out!) bother me so I had to set everything to Private.

I sleep like a burrito. I am a HUGE cover hog - Thank goodness DH doesn't like cover or we'd have issues.

I am heading into 2 days of meetings in another location - I will be internet-less! I'm going into withdrawal thinking of it (particularly when I KNOW that much time will be wasted in circular arguments, and I could be much more productive if I were on-line).

I'll check in on the weekend................

once the paperwork is with the review who do you call and talk to i mean what do you say once you have someone on the phone I knew what to do to see if the paperwork WAS THERE but yeah lol

I just talked to the service rep that answered. I told them that my doctor had sent in paperwork for predetermination of benefits for WLS. The rep was able to check to see if they had the paperwork and see if the review department had started looking at it. I also sent emails from their website. The rep that got my email actually requested follow up from the review department to tell her as soon as they were done with it. She emailed me the afternoon it was approved. My surgeon's office accepted the copy of the email until they got the official approval letter 2 weeks later.

I have to wear a very annoying brace, am on anti-inflammatories and have to go to physical therapy.

HOW do you take antinflamatories? Told me I can't with the band.

Lulu. thanks for posting the pictures!!! They are so cute! I would love to have a new puppy.

BBK, ummmm, uh oh. Maybe I need to call my band doc tomorrow and make sure it is safe to take them. Now I am worried.

My throat hurts and day time TV sucks.

Susan I had to take anti inflammatories for a back injury I had and my Dr prescribed one that was soluble in Water. If your band Dr gives you the ok to take them, maybe they could prescribe the soluble ones which are much easier to take.

Maybe that's another thread topic - movies we have seen and loved or loathed.

That's a great idea. It's nice when someone else has given a movie a good review so when you go to rent one, you have something in mind.

Froggi sorry, I was a self pay. I would go nuts too if I had to wait for an insurance company to make up their minds. We will keep our fingers crossed for you.

Susan I hope you're not in too much pain. My dr. said I can take anti inflamatories if I drink plenty of Water to flush it through the pouch.

I have flannel sheets on my bed all year long except for about one month which is usually August. I am always cold too.

      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.
