No Insurance Coverage: How To Pay For It...
apricot1119 replied to WLJourneyJ's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was self pay too. I ended up with a 20,000 bill. From what I can tell this is the high end. I had some savings and took out a loan. I figured I would by a car for that and I am worth way more as an investment. -

What Will Happen If I Don't Follow The 2 Week Preopp Diet?
apricot1119 replied to Bigdogkc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is kinda like a test. It forces you to examine your relationship with food. I am on day six. I am on no solids. It has made me feel more committed to this journey. -
Liquid Diet And Fading Hunger
apricot1119 replied to apricot1119's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know. Solid protein would be nice. I have the "should have been predictable" issue of liquid in, liquid out. -
10 more days. I am on day 5 of my liquid diet prep and it is true what they say. Your hunger fades...

Liquid Diet Weight Loss
apricot1119 replied to apricot1119's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes. Protein shakes, broth, sugar free jello. And lots of water. 11 more days on it. I have learned the meaning of head hunger. And I think I am suffering withdrawal symptoms from carbs -
Nerves are starting. Am I crazy to do this?

Am sure it is on here somewhere but I did a search and couldn't find it. What should I pack for hospital?

Day One Of Pre Diet
apricot1119 replied to apricot1119's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Robin. So far the diet isn't too bad. But I am trying to stay calm. Excited nervous...feel a little nuts -
Just found out my phyc consult resulted in a recommendation for therapy. I have to have my first one by a week before my surgery June 28th. I now feel stressed, a little judged, crazy and like this is going to block my surgery.
-
Well it's off to get my head examined than. I am hoping the guy who did my consult will see me
-
I am self pay. I am just required to get one session in before the surgery. It threw me for a loop. I thought I had done " fine" with my psych interview.
-
Even though I am self pay my surgen requires a letter of medical necessity. I am paranoid my primary won't do it! I am just so worried that something is going to stand in the way of my sleeve!

Thanks!! I needed to hear that
