I cried like a baby!



Recommended Posts

I started this journey in late August of this year. I went to all of my required appointments, started my 2 week liquid diet, and was scheduled for surgery on 12/26. The only problem was I hadn't received insurance approval yet. Anybody here knows that waiting for insurance approval is torture. The not knowing if my surgery would be covered has been the most difficult part of this whole thing, even more difficult than two weeks of liquids. Well, I just got off the phone with the surgeons office and .......I'm Approved. I actually cried on the phone with the receptionist and then sobbed when I called my husband and twin sister. I am so excited and I can't wait to begin my new life after surgery.

My advice for anyone who is still waiting on insurance approval is to hang in there. Don't be afraid to call the surgeon's office or your health insurance co. to check the status. You know the old saying, "The sweaky wheel gets the oil".

      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?

      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.
