So I've gone through everything necessary for me to get surgery I called Friday to ask if I start my liquid diet before the surgery that I have scheduled on June 30th and they said yes the insurance company called me today about a prescription for after my surgery to verify my plan and they're sending my medication the only thing I haven't had yet is my advocate call me and tell me that everything was good and I was cleared for surgery. I've been doing everything they wanted me to since March and now my surgery date is scheduled for June 30th and I haven't heard from my advocate but everyone else including my surgeon has told me to go ahead and start my liquid diet. My BMI is 44 and I'm sure my insurance will approve me but I'm starting to get nervous because I haven't heard from my advocate but I have heard from everyone else. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

Who does the advocate represent? I did not have one.

Can you call your insurance company to find out if you have been approved?

I was sent an approval letter as well as my surgeon's office.

If your surgeon told you to start the pre-op diet go ahead and start it while you try to get confirmation so you will be ready once you are confirmed.

Well I got a phone call Tuesday from my advocate who told me to go ahead and start my liquid diet so I did. However she did tell me that she hadn't even submitted the paperwork to my insurance company yet so currently I'm on a fast and a potential date of June 30th and I still don't know if I'm having surgery. I'm doing the fast but I'm really anxious and I'm nervous and I'm afraid that I'm doing it for nothing.

      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.
