Good luck worm!! I am calling insurance coordinator starting again tomorrow. I have a pre op appointment on Tuesday so if I don't hear anything tomorrow he will get an ear full in Tuesday

You should have other requirements such as ekg endoscopy pulmonary function test some require cardiologist clearance as well as psych evaluation. Each surgeon is different

The test i did was like 589 questions. Like if your suicidal or like to commit felonies or arson and in the test also is like a personality test like if your a team person or like doing stuff alone. Sees if your like a leader or a follower and some that were way out there to see if your a sociopath

I sit here reading this and there us just no words to say. Today my baby girl turns 21 and your story makes me realize even more then I already do how lucky I am and how blessed I am that God let me have her

Ok so I know its hard and I just thought I would post why most have a liquid diet prior to surgery. It is to shrink our liver and reduce the fat around it. During surgery the doc has to use a tool to retract our liver. And with it smaller and less fat makes it more pliable to move because it can tear. It makes the surgery safer and faster!! So whenever the urge hits you to cheat just remember this comment for encouragment to get past it.

Do you count coffee as part if the 64oz? I have never counted it but would be great if I could

Its just ridiculous LOL.

On the back of my card is a number for like claims member services etc.. that's the number I called

Worm have you called the insurance company yourself? Some have found out that way before surgeons office that way and they are open right now so call them and ask

I guess it wouldn't be so frustrating if it wasn't for her telling me to rush everything last week so she could get everything done to submit on Monday so that we can get my surgery scheduled this month because of husband's work. I might not have the insurance next month.

It is frustrating!! I have tried calling and left messages all week to my insurance coordinator ni return calls nor answering and she was suppose to submit my info on Monday and so yesterday I called my insurance company and nothing has been sent to them and now I wont know anything till Monday because the office is closed on Fridays. And so now I donpt know what to do with the appointment I have with surgeon on Tuesday because it is a pre op but can't have a pre op without approval or surgery date

Congrats!! Did you get a surgery date yet?

Hope you feel better soon!!

Take biotin 5000 mgs. I haven't had surgery yet but losing my hair now taking my thyroid medicine I am hoping the biotin works. Plus make sure you are getting enough protein in

Is it the liquid diet or optifast?

So to lose I need to burn 3500 a day? And stay eating 1500 calories?

Good luck with it!!! I want to start one in which I have tried and I think I.can do one now but last time I was at doctor they said strictly stay in my 1500 calories and not to go below it but in same breath lose 10 pounds LOL and I can't even lose 1 pound on 1500 calories.

Aww sorry to hear this but....of course there is always a but....you will be healed and better for having to wait a couple months and you will have a safer surgery and outcome

I hope this is the case i would just feel better if she would just call back to let me know

I am so frustrated!! I called my insurance company and my surgeons office hasn't even sent them my info for approval!! Unbelievable! And I have tried calling the insurance coordinator since Monday no answer or call back

Hope everything is ok. Prayers are with you!!!

I actually have been pretty depressed since Monday from not hearing anything. And with them not answering the phone or scaling me back makes me nervous.

Me too worm!! I am going to try and call again today. I guess the worst thing is I will have to wait till November when they have been trying to push for October
