How long did you wait for your approval?



Recommended Posts

Thank you Rhonda. I can't get a weight from 2006 since I never once went to the drs that whole year!! My check list didn't really say I needed it.

Good luck to you too!!!

Drs office called on Wed to let me know they were sending it in for approval, I called the insurance today and they said it could take a week to get in the system and then 7-30 days for an approval or not. I wish mine was 2 days like I read from so many others.

2 or 3 days after I finished my last visit to the nutritionist. It was not much of a problem, they even set a date before I was approved. BCBS of Texas

Thanks to all for responding on my question. I just hope that my BCBS will be as quick in approving me, like most of you.

they even set a date before I was approved.

I have seen that a few times where people are saying they are waiting on approval but they have their date already set. That must be nice since my dr said they normally have an opening in a month after my approval.

I hate the waiting:confused::)

      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.
