I'm new here but have been visiting for about two weeks, this is a great web site!!!!

Anyway my name is Krissy, I'm married,mother of two beautiful children(they're really monsters)

I went to my first appt. with the doc last Tues, I'm waiting on insurance approval and going insane, my BMI is 40.1 with no co-morbities. What are my chances, I have UHC? I woke up at 4am with chest pains, I must be stressing about getting approval from insurance, I hope?...........lol

Hi HappyK,

I was also UHC. I had a BMI of 35 with co-morbities and was approved. They were easy to work with.

Hi Chrissy!!! I had UHC with a BMI of 51 with some co-morbidities(severe sleep apnea, swelling, wheezing). I started the whole process on 7/28/05 and was approved on 8/13. UHC is pretty easy to work with.

Hi Krissy,

I was approved by UHC with no problem (co-morbities were high cholesterol and major back problems). Good luck with your approval! Having UHC seems to be the magic bullet... everyone else has trouble.

Welcome aboard - good luck with your approval - I have BCBS and was told that I would have no problems (which I didn't, they were wonderful) but I was still on pins and needles until I got the official word. You'll be fine - just stay relaxed.

      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?

      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.
