I’m currently on week five of my 4-8 week wait to hear from the insurance company. Anyone else waiting and want to commiserate with me?

I’m also waiting for other things in life to roll along so it’s a just a season of waiting for me right now, over all. 😝

Oh, I'm sorry to hear of your delay in hearing from insurance! I was told it would be four or more weeks for my insurance as well and my decision came back in 2 days. Now I'm waiting on the surgeon's office to call so we can arrange my pre-op visit to set my date. I think they do it on purpose to make sure that we're actually serious about the surgery and that it isn't just a passing phase or something.

I raise my glass of Water to you for your patience in waiting 5 weeks already!

Waiting is hard. Could you call your insurance company to check status and make sure it hasn't fallen through a gap? Good luck.

Well, I didn’t have to wait much longer! They called me this morning! I am approved. I just need to figure out when will be a good time to schedule it because my boss is out on maternity leave until March 9th. I will have been at my employer 12 months end of April and will be eligible for FMLA at that time. I don’t want to keep pushing it off though.

      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.
