it took 3 weeks to get approved but i had to be on their butt!

i didnt check in till the first week and a half then i asked if they had an answer yet but all they said was that i would know soon. I guess their fax wasnt work at the doctors office and so the insurance company wasnt getting my papers but finally i got a new number for them to fax to and in like record time they approved me in less then 24 hours. it was one of the best things i have ever heard. but if i want my surgery in december i have to loose 10 pounds i guess in a week...i hope i can do it!

congrats on your date. mine is in january.you can do it just stick to liquids, i drink eas drinks it,s for weight loss.twice a day.you can find them at walgreens,shoprite stop&shop.good luck.

can you tell me what other types of things you are to eat onyour post op diet?

Congratulations on your approval! The most weight that your going to lose in one week is going to be right now. You will lose all of your water weight almost immediately. My pre-op diet was full liquid. That included broths, popsicles, water, milk, hot chocolate(my fav), ect. Everything had to be sugar-free and low sodium. 10lbs is not impossible, I lost I think around 16 during that week. It is not easy, but it will be worth it. Good Luck.

thank you everyone! yah its day two and its hard when my family cooks alot but im so determind and i have a few people doubting because of my past diet trials but i really want to prove them wrong. I really want to do it for myself b/c im sick of choosing food over my health.
