Facing up to the situation

What is the cost for a fill or unfill? See I don't even have that info. I know my insurance pay up to six for this year, but after that it is all my responsibility.

Norma, the cost for adjustments depends totally on your doctor's policies. In my case, it's very expensive for fills since they're done in the hospital radiology suite, but this last adjustment was done in the doctor's office. It will probably just be the cost of an office visit (my insurance covers it, so I don't know exactly).

You're lucky that your carrier will cover up to six. That's better than most!

I have United Health care and I am on the PPO+ medical plan. They are great. They have realy been there for me. They even have a 24 hour nurse line that I can call when I am having pain or diareah or whatever. They are there. My husband works for a wireless phone company and they all seem to have the same insurance. I should be more greatful. I may have come across on other replys from other sections as ungreatful. However, I am scheduled for councelling next week and hopefully it will help me enjoy this experience rather than complain.

Hey, Norma, don't worry -- it's hard to feel gratitude when you're in pain or having diarrhea.

Thanks for asking, Paula! I'm sleeping much, much better and have had no reflux at all. Ahhhhh... :)

The downside is I'm hungrier. Oh well! Knew that would happen...

      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.
