Paperwork Submitted TODAY!!



Recommended Posts

Hi All!! I just wanted to tell my Lap-Band family that my paperwork is being submitted today for my 8/1 surgery. I just spoke to the nurse and she told me not to worry that all will be ok & my insurance company is pretty good as long as they have everything required (I have it all!)! PLEASE say a prayer for me that I get approved and that my nerves will subside until I do. I feel crazy!! Thanks for all your support...:tt1:

ugh I know what you are feeling i went through it a week ago. I was so nervous and sick I could not even sleep!!! But I was approved 2 business days later :tt1: Soooo just try to stay calm and try to think about something else to keep your mind busy and know if your denied you can ask your dr to do a peer to peer and if that doesnt work theres the appeal :tt1: congrats in advance!! My surgery is scheduled for july 16th wooohoooo

Good Luck! I had a sleep Study done, then 2 weeks later I called and left a message asking if my case had been submitted to my insurance. Next day, I got a call that not only had it been submitted, it had been approved in less than an hour! Gotta love TriCare Prime! Less than a month later, I'm going in for surgery tomorrow!!!

      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.
