Anyone Out There?!?

Thanks for the reply! I can see what you mean about the Insurance co trying to discourage you. Kinda like claims getting tied up in court. If they can wear you out, they win! I sure hope that I don't have to wait another 6 months. My health is going down quickly. I don't know what shape I'll be in 6 months from now.

I have Anthem and am in the process of the 6 month diet, appointment #5 is tomorrow then one more month to go. It does go by quicker than you think. Keep your chin up and your eye on the goal, before you know it you will be the leader of the band (forgive, I could not resist!!)

Hi Kentuckians,

I live in Paducah, Kentucky. I didn't have too much luck with Anthem BC/BS, too many hoops. I'm self pay July 10th, Monterrey Mexico. I went to the seminar at Baptist Hospital in Nashville but they just hadn't done enough of them for me and Vandy had done even less.

Good luck,

Sherri

Wow, your date is just around the corner. Luck to you. I live in Hopkinsville and am in Paducah alot. I'm holding out for insurance to reimburse some of the money I have put into it these last 20 some odd years. But if they let me down I may have questions about Mexico.

I am from Bowling Green, Ky. And was wondering if anyone on here has heard of Dr. Argotee in Paducah? He is at Lourds Pavillion?

I am familiar with Lourds but not with Dr Argotee. Do a search on him and see if there is a review from patients who have been treated by him. Good Luck

Iziksmom, Hi! I am also seeing Dr. Olsofka. I have heard only GOOD things about him. Isn't it funny how different insurances have you do different things before the surgery. I am in the beginning part of the process, you sound like you are doing great! Keep up the good work, I hope to find out when I will be banded. Sherry Matt

      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.
