I got Approved Today!!!



Recommended Posts

So after all the hoops I had to jump through I got approved today by Aetna and my doctors appointment is Friday to sign all the paper work so I am guess surgery should be in a month or so depending on how busy my surgeon is. I am so happy to get this news :) So does anyone know what the pre op diet consists of??

My Pre-Op diet was a strict Protein Shake diet. I had 3 shakes a day to replace the meals..at dinner I could have a veggie or salad with no dressings. Every Dr. is different so yours might have a few different things.The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink the fatty liver and make the surgery easier to do.

Congrats! I'm excited for you! I'm in the process of appealing to my medical group, and hopefully I'll hear the same good news soon!

Congrats on being approved! Like other posters said, the pre-op diet differs for each surgeon. I was on all liquids for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery. This means things like the Campbells cream Soups, broth, Water, sugar-free Jello and pudding, sugar-free popsicles, and juice that was dialated with water.

Some peoples' surgeons only require a low-carb/low-cal diet.

Best of luck!

It does depend on the surgeon. I had to go on the medifast liquid diet for one week before surgery. The diet wasn't too bad and I did lose 10 lbs. on the diet. Good Luck!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
