Insurance says "yes" and after surgery "no"



Recommended Posts

Was just notified that the hospital bill was paid for the tt so that means the surgeon will be too. Thank you all for your concern. What a load off my chest, heart and tummy!!

Be well.

Thank you all for your good wishes-I am glad this had a happy ending. Now, if I can only keep my son clean and away from his disease of addiction with drugs. I ask nothing for myself, just his recovery. It is the most insidious disease around. I feel so helpless. He has had the best in rehab in Pa. and Minnesota where I liquidated every nickel I had from IRA's and a retirement fund. He is home now and struggling. The worry is constant. It does not stop. Be well all.

Fran im glad that your insurance ended up paying.

As for the drugs well I Have had more than i care to deal with when it comes to that. Everyone in my husbands family is Addicted to something or another.

My BIL was very heavliy into drugs, He's around 30ish, We disowned him basically , my husband said it was easier to do that than to hear some day he was dead.

He finally got better when my FIL decided to cut him off. he was actually hurting him more than anything by helping him. Not that your doing that.

My Brother in law new he could always have dad to go to and when that was no longer there he finally said " CRAP " I have to get better or NO One will help me.

My BIL is now a father and married and doing pretty well. I think he's been sober for 3 yrs now .

Anyway . Hang in there, it can be done. Just be careful and protect yourself as well !

Love

Mindy

      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.
