This is probably not even the right place to put this, but I'm so excited I don't know what to do.

I logged onto the Humana site today to see if anything showed up about my doctor's request for approval for Lap Banding me, and it was THERE.

I am APPROVED.

Approved.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry or what.

I called the doctor's office immediately, but they haven't received anything yet, and said if I could fax them what I get as soon as I get it, it will speed things up.

God, please please PLEASE let the letter be in the mail when I get home today!

Get this.

It's on the website, but neither I nor the Dr had received a letter yet, so I called the insurance company to verify that yes indeed it was correct and I was not hallucinating and the VERY NICE lady at the insurance company FAXED the letter right then to the doctor's office so they would have it tomorrow when they open.

How COOOL is that!? I take back EVERY bad thing I've ever uttered about military insurance!

Congratulations! I found out today that I am approved as well. I know what you mean about being so excited you don't know what to do. I told my co-worker, "if I wasn't so durn fat, I would go outside and turn cartwheels!" Much success to you in your journey and God Bless!

      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.
