My last appointment was with the psych doctor on 2/6/19... It’s officially been a week since that appointment..
Last step I was advised was submitting to the insurance company for approval.
I called the office that Friday & this Monday 2/11/19 to see if things were submitted yet but was told they were still waiting on the paperwork from the psychiatrist.
I can’t lie I’m already going crazy wanting to see if things have even been submitted yet.. let alone approved..
Im telling myself to calm down & wait.. I’m trying to at the least give it 2 weeks but geeeezzeee
Why does the waiting seem so long?
I just want to know the verdict but then idk how I’m gonna take a denial..
I’m trying to stay positive and so far so good it’s just the waiting is so frustrating.. I’m nervous, excited and scared all at once..
Thoughts of getting that call for approval, setting the surgery date, starting my pre op diet, to the losers bench, to baggy work pants, to smiling again, to onederland... oh my.. lol
But it’s still just the beginning..
Glad I’ve made it this far & praying it’s not all for nothing..
The waiting game seems so long..

It'll be over before you know it. Hang in there and be patient. We've all been there and we've survived. 🙂

      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.
