Hey, guys. I work for Blue Cross Blue Shield. I was banded on Dec. 20, and I am down 64 pounds so far. Great to see a thread just for us guys.

BCBS? So, really, tell us the truth, does BCBS employ a special department to come up with interesting terms to use for reasons for denials for lapband requests? Mine was "physicians notes not specific enough". Seriously, I'm not making that up. Any advice? My surgeon has sent my case to an attorney advocate. My PCP, upon hearing the reason for denial, said "That's Bullsh_t!!!". Just wondering if you had any secrets you could share.:rolleyes:

I'm a senior manager of an environmental law office. Been doing environmental work for 20 years. Enjoyed working with Native American tribes in setting up environmental programs most of all. Liked metal work in a factory and really enjoyed bartending, but what I do now is probably my favorite.

      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.
