OMG, I was finally approved!!!



Recommended Posts

After being denied twrice, and the second letter making no sense at all, my mother talked to the people at the bariactric office. After reading through my letter of denial they called Tricare and found out my case was sent to an outside doctor who obviously had no clue what Tricare's requirements were. My surgeon actually talked to the head administrator of Tricare and finanlly got it approved. So now, seven months after it started, this is finally going to happen for me. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. I will soon be recieving my surgery date, and can not wait. :thumbdown:

I will be banded by Dr. Robert Cywes in Jacksonville, Florida.

      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.
