Just been approved by BC/BS Fep



Recommended Posts

I just received my phone call from my surgeon that I have been approved by my insurance. I will see her 2/21/08 @ 130 p.m. She will schedule my surgery at that visit.

I have been on my journey since August 2007.

Yipppppeeee.

I would image part of the wait is I have to be cleared by the Cardiologist and my next appointment for his is 12/27/07. I also heard she is full for December, taking some time off in January, and this puts February in place. I am okay with this date, as I am rehearsing the lifestyle, which is highly recommended by the Nutritionist. So far, so good.

I am just glad I am finally approved. Been on the journey since August 2007.

      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.
