My NUT kept talking about this cheese sauce all her clients kept raving about so I went home all excited to order. Then I find it it was only seasonal. I was so bummed!! So I just ordered the unjury chicken broth and unflavored protein. >_<

I have bcbs of PA...My approval time was very quick. Only 2 days from the day of submitting.

Congrats n goodluck ....take one last before pic

I have my fingers crossed for you.

Im June 6th as well. Finally, someone with the same exact date as mine. .We're less than a month away. Good luck!!

I just went to my pharmacy to fill my emend script. Its a pill that I take the morning of surgery to prevent nausea from surgery. That ONE pill cost me $50...yes FIFTY dollars with insurance. *sighs* Wasn't expecting that but I sucked it up and paid it. >_<

Congrats fellow June sleever. Im on the 6th.

Good luck!!! Take one last before pic before the surgery.

Yeah Im going to be on liquids for basically a month. 2 week pre-op and two weeks post op of only liquids. 4 shakes a day. I start on the 22nd of May.

How about something electronic?? Maybe a new cell phone or a new camera/camcorder.

Im done all my tests but I have a 2 week liquid diet to do starting the 22nd. Now im in the process of going back to the gym and trying different types of protein shakes/chewable vitamins.

I felt the same way in the begining. So many people had read my post but didnt respond so I deleted it. Dont feel dicouraged. Are you pre or post op??

June 6th over here. I just feel like May is going to dragggggg.lol

I had bcbs...It took 2 days. I heard it can take up to 30 days. I hope you hear some good news soon.

I have bcbs of PA and it only took 2 days for approval. Hope you hear something soon.

June 6th over here . I am so excited and nervous. I know May is going to draggggggggggg (especially my 2 week diet). Congrats and good luck!!

Im June 6th......Good luck n congrats fellow June sleever.

I am BCBS ppo here in PA.Very easy approval.No 6 mo waiting period. My bmi was over 40. I just had to show hx of weightloss and take all the pre-op tests.

My NUT told me to stay away from wendys chilli because of the high sodium content. A small chilli is almost 1,000 mg of sodium.

So the month of April has been a busy one. I got ALL my pre-op tests done. I was so excited to see my surgeon on Thursday because I thought we would be submitting to insurance.....WRONG. He hasnt recieved all the test results back to his office yet. Even though I passed each test (Psych eval, PT, ect) he said sometimes it takes a little longer to recieve. I was so upset. I had everything done at HIS hosptial so sending the results wouldnt take extra time.He told me to come back in two weeks. *sighs* A part of me knows I shouldnt be so upset because this is going fairly quickly. Another part of me is upset because Ive been overly stressing about the insurance part of this surgery. Now these extra 2 weeks just gives me more time to think about the "what-ifs". I just hope in two weeks the results will be there. Should I call in a week and see what progress has been made? I would hate to travel all the way back to the office just to be told to come back (and not to mention pay another copay again for nothing) .I dont want his office to think im imaptient though *sighs* :-/

Thats good to know@turning into carbs.......What shakes do you use for protein??

Congrats!!!! Wow too much protein?? Ive never heard that on here.lol. Keep up the good work!!

I was in your same boat a week ago. All I can say is RELAX .It wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was reading so many horror stories about the the eval and mine was NOTHING like that!! As long a you're yourself and honest you'll be fine. The dr will ask about your past life growing up,future goals,family history,current stressors (work,children,school ect) Goodluck

Mine was $85 and Im in the process of trying to get reimbursed. I'm still unclear of why my insurance didn't cover it from the beginning because it was an in-network provider. Anyways, It was only 20 mins and she asked maybe 5 questions.
