Submitted to Insurance Today - Wish me Luck!



Recommended Posts

I have been contacted and told that my case was submitted to my insurance company for approval! I am sooo excited! Seems like it has taken forever to get to this point! Now everyone please please please send happy thoughts and wishes for a quick turn around! If I hear back early enough this week I will have surgery May 5th... if later in the week then I'm looking at May 12th (The surgeon only does lap band on Monday)... Ugh.. the torture continues... I'm ready now!

Waiting for my official date!

hello. I know how you feel. I still have another month before I get submitted to the insurance company. I started this journey on Dec. 26,'07 so I am READY. I have dropped 24 pounds on the pre-op eating plan and have cut portions drastically and eating more fruits and veggies. less breads and high carbs and fried stuff. I am getting anxious about the whole process.

Good luck and keep us posted. Have a wonderful day.

      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.
