My consultation is Tomorrow!!!!



Recommended Posts

I'm really starting to get anxious about it. I'm not really nervous about the appointment itself, I'm more so nervous that my insurance won't approve me. I'm so scared that my insurance is going to turn me down. I really hope to be posting that I got approved by Christmas so I can set my surgery date, that would be an awesome Christmas gift, that's all I want. So, wish me luck so I can be a January Bandster with ya'll!

Thanks Jim! No, I wouldn't be able to pay out of pocket. I might be able to do some kind of financing, but we'll see.

I had my consultation today and it went really good. I love my surgeon and his staff, everyone is really nice and helpful. I have an unofficial date, January 28th. YAYAYAYAY!!!!! It'll be official after the approval comes through, which they seem very optimistic about. I should know by the end this week. I'm so excited and anxious. This is really starting to get real now...lol. This week is going to go by so slowly that's for sure.

I'll do all of my pre-op testing the week before the surgery, I don't have to do a psych evaluation unless my insurance companies wants me to, but the insurance woman said she didn't think they'd do that. I do have to see a dietician though, I'll probably try to call tomorrow and get that set up soon. I'm just so excited right now,I want to tell everybody I know, but I'm really trying to wait until it's OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!

      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.
