What are my chances?



Recommended Posts

I'm 6 months post op and no pb, slime or puking here. I have had a couple of moments when I thought I might but got thru it without incidence. I asked my doctor why they didn't warn me about pb and slime and they said because they have rarely had it happen. It might be because I'm not too tight. I do know it's fairly common though.

Hi Carly,

I am just beginning the process. My primary insurance is with United Health Care with Tricare Standard as the secondary. I've been to an informational meeting, asked for a referral from my PCP, and scheduled an initial appointment with a local surgeon. I guess my question is did you have any problems with Tricare? Leona

I had no problems with tricare so far, (thank goodness)! I didn't think I was going to get approved because of the awful experiences I had with the doc that gave the referral and my PCM(long story). My surgeon's nurse even said she couldn't say if I would get approved cause I have only 1 currently treated co-morb. But it was only 2 days after they sent in the paperwork that I got a call saying I was approved.

The only thing left for me to do with tricare is have my surgeon's office send in paperwork for authorization for my fills after surgery. The good thing is my surgeon doesn't charge for fills for 90 days after surgery. I have prime so I don't know if it's different with standard. Good luck, hope this helps!:biggrin:

      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.
