Denied. Service Not Covered.
DanaL replied to ArcusX's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try and see if your doctor would be willing to do a peer to peer. I had Cinga and got denied as well, then my doctor had a peer to peer with a medical director or someone at Cinga and they had it approved. -

What are you December Sleevers eating for for your protien?
DanaL replied to cuteasabutton's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I haven't added it to plain water to see if there's actually no taste. There's 2g of sugar so I'm sure there's some taste but it's not enough to notice if you put it in food. -

I bought my Designer Whey Unflavored Protein Powder at Vitamin Shoppe. They have a small can or a large tub. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=XN-1005#.UPF-aSfm5Hc -

I put Designer Whey Unflavored Protein powder in everything. Yogurt, soup, shakes, mashed potatoes. -
I have Cinga. I had to do 3 months of dietitian apoinments. 2 co-morbidities or a BMI over 40. I met all their requirements and was denined stating that surgery was not medically nessasary. My doctor then had to do a peer to peer with the Cinga medical director to get it approved. It only took 5 days total from submitting paper work to the approval.

I sleep with a large body pillow tucked up under my belly and then between my knees. The pillow supports my stomach and gives me a little relief. I've always been a side sleeper.

December 20 sleevers
DanaL replied to teachbearga1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used a heating pad on my back for a little bit last night and that seemed to work wonders. Hang in there! -
I'm home too. No real issues as long as I keep up with my pain meds. All I want to do is sleep though, so I'm forcing myself to stay awake long enough to sip.

Today is my 7th day on the liquid diet. I'm down 12lbs. I found the Swanson's broth (Chicken,Beef, Vegetable) to be really gross. I've been making Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup and straining the noodles. The first few days I was drinking 4-5 shakes a day and now I'm down to 2-3. I am not really a fan of SF water flavorings but I found Crystal Lite Pink Lemonade to be good.

Those on the liquid pre-op diet, can you guys have SF Fudgesicles?
-
I'm scheduled for the 20th too! I've started the pre-op diet today even though the doctor said it was ok to only do a 10 day pre-op diet. I'll stay 2 nights in the hospital and home on the 3rd.
