missed the phone call..



Recommended Posts

Okay so while I was @ work today my niece @ home got a phone call from the Kaiser surgery facility in Fresno.She didn't inform me of this & by the time I got home (5:03pm), they were closed!

My question is does Kaiser typically call you to inform you if you were denied? I am hoping for the GREATEST news EVER that I was approved.BUT I won't really know til Monday morning when they open!

My understanding is that if you were to be approved they would call to set up appointments & if you were denied you would get a letter & NOT a phone call.

Can someone PLEASE put my mind to ease by answering me..I have ALL weekend to wonder about this & it's going to drive me insane!!

If I only were 5 minutes earlier to call I would have my answer :cool2:

I have no idea! I would think they'd be calling to set up appts.

When I had my surgery, Kaiser - Fresno had only been doing the surgery for a month so I went thru a whole different process than what they're doing now.

Do you have the name of the person who called you? I'd be pretty upset with DN! LOL!

That happened with us when we got the call about our DD. She was adopted. My caseworker was out of town so her boss called me to say they had a birthmother interested in us and to call her back. Well, that FRIDAY I'd had a bunch of errands to do after work and didn't get home til JUST before 5 to get the message on our machine. The office was already closed by the time I called back! Talk about a long weekend! LOL! It all worked out tho. Two weeks later we had a beautiful baby girl!

Try to keep busy this weekend. I know I found this late. Sorry. And really, I'm no help! LOL!

Best wishes!!

      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.
