I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!



Recommended Posts

I didn't think I'd EVER be able to say that everything was complete and ready to turn over to my insurance company, but it IS!!!!! I just got a call from the surgeon's office and it was officially submitted yesterday!! Now I just wait. The coordinator believes that I will be approved and hopefully should hear something in the next couple of weeks! I could be banded as soon as 4-5 weeks! I am just so excited to have gotten over the appointments/paperwork/pulling it all together hump!! Yay!!

Thanks. I am super excited. I really felt like we'd never be ready to turn it over to insurance. I just noticed that the only punctuation I used throughout that entire post were exclamations!! LOL!!

I just got the same cal today. Everything was submitted today to the insurance company. She said I should here this coming week if I am aproved. She went ahead and set my surgery date for Feb. 26th. I am very nervous about it and excited at the same time. It helps to get on here and have support when the fear creeps in

Great news! I hope mine is that quick and easy. I'm not scheduled yet, but they told me they are about a month out. I'm assuming that I'll be scheduled when approved so a month from then. Maybe mid to late March??

      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.
