Waiting for a miracle...(approval)



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! This is my very first post, what a great site! I now know that I'm not alone. Right down to waiting on insurance approval. I am absolutely determined to do what it takes to get this done!! ALOT of fantastic ppl on here, makes me very hopeful. (and excited) Just as soon as I get a surgery date I will be back with pics & no doubt balling my eyes out from happiness about my approval. Talk to you all soon! Good luck!!!!!

Hi KimmiJo,

Good luck on your insurance approval!! Once my insurance company received all the information they needed it didn't take long at all. Any prior medical or personal accounts of weight loss attempts, letters from physicians, etc. can help also.

Let us know what happens!! I just got approval last week and got my surgery date of August 26th!:confused:

Take care,

Katie

I'm waiting for mine too. Once I decided I wanted to have it done I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear from my doctor and have a date set. My insurance says I have to have a supervised diet for 6 months. How can I wait! I'll be a nervous wreck by then. (lol)

I may have to wait 6 months too. (stupid insurance! lol) I have medical evidence for several yrs at a diet Dr, BUT, it's not 6 months IN A ROW! Crazy, huh? I should know something this week hopefully. I too, am on pins & needles. If I have to wait, it will be the longest 6 months of my life. Let us know what your insurance co. says. Good luck and you are ALL in my prayers!

      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.
