Finally moving along



Recommended Posts

So I was finally cleared to begin my insurance steps. I know I have the paper right here but I am still wrapping my head around it. Both excited and anxious. More or less anxious with going over this 😆

How quickly did some of you get they just the insurance steps? This month they got my sleep study appointment set up, and I e already dropped a copy to my primary to go over because I believe she needs to help get some
Information for me to send them.

get 2 years of medical records with at least 1 progress note faxed over, psyc evaluation and clearance, nutrition eval and clearance, month medically supervised weight loss program, letter of support from pcp, and talk to a financial counselor. All these for insurance steps.

The surgeon requirements is a cardiac assessment, sleep study which they have me scheduled this month for, egd, chest xray and a mandatory tmc pre operative class

Hi Mikeyy,

I'm in Ireland ..... and I don't need anything like the amount of paperwork you need.

Why do you have to have a sleep Study ?

Best of luck.

      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.
