Guess who got approved....

Yup, me!! B-)

I tried to call my coordinator to find out what's going on, and of course I didn't reach her...it's been weeks since I heard anything and I'm growing impatient. So being who I am, I called my insurance company. BAMMM, approved!! Lol I will be stalking the coordinator today for a date!

Wooo hooo!! Hmm Maybe I'll call Cigna today and light a fire under their butts!

That is great news!!!!!!

I've been thinking of you & your SO.....how's she doing? It's been a week since her surgery, right? I was moved by your post/concern for her.....being a pre-op, the only thing I could offer were good thoughts/prayers for her recovery.

Congrats & good luck!

Thank you! She's great, no more gas pains, she's getting more Protein in each day, she can sleep in the bed now, she gets outside and walks with no to minimal pain but I make her take Vicodin at the first sign of pain. She's a lil sad about Clear liquids still but we go in tomorrow for the 1 wk post op visit with the surgeon and hopefully she can advance to the next stage. She's been drinking pure whey though, which is milky in nature so advancement shouldn't be a problem. Thank you for asking :-)

Any idea when your surgery is?

Thank you! She's great,

So glad, that's terrific news! No date, waiting for approval........but it's going along, and it'll happen. Good luck, and thanks for the update....you two have been on my mind, so glad everything worked out!!!

Yay, congratulations on getting approved, hopefully your date will be here soon!

Yup' date=' me!! B-)

You sound a lot like me.. I called my insurance company every other day for the week it took them to approve.. Now I am stalking my coordinator trying to find out my date! Best of luck to you! Hopefully we have dates soon!

Got muh date :-) August 14th

After much calling....

They initially told me September, I hung up call another doctor who could do it on August 7th, I called my original doctors office back and asked them to fax my file to dr angstadt's office and BAMMM they could get me a sooner date all of a sudden....smh

Anyway August 14th it is :-D

I wish I had that option there aren't many doctors in my area that do the surgery so I'm stuck with the one that is avoiding me..

Congrats on the date btw..

Oh you are clever! Never would have thought to do that! Got my approval & date....8/6......we'll be on the losers bench together next month, woo hoo! Congratulations, and good for you!!!!!

Yay!! August buddies :-) congrats!! I'm dreading this 2 week diet thing though. My girlfriend had a two day, yes TWO DAYS liquid diet that I did with her for support and that was agonizing I can't imagine two weeks! I get hungry thinking about it lol

Now I'm wishing I had chosen the surgeon she did but nooo I had to be difficult smh

Do u have a liquid diet?
