I've got a date!!!
posted on 8/29/11 8:16 pm
August 29, 2011

Well, a lot had happened since March!  I completed my 6 month supervised diet on July 22, 2011 at exactly the weight I needed to be in order to submit for insurance approval.  I assumed it would go swiftly and be approved.......wrong!!! Health Alliance denied me for "Lack of Documentation" which absolutely floored me to say the least.  I spent the better part of that day on the phone to my Dr.'s office and to Health Alliance trying to determine exactly what documentation they needed.  Three weeks, tons of miscommunication and frustraion later, I submitted my appeal letter and a letter from my Dr.  Apparently, my truly wonderful Health Alliance representative called my Dr's office and went over my appointments month by month and got everything straightened out because.......she called me to let me know I had been approved!  Of course, I cried some happy tears!

I had my pre-op exam/appt 2 days after I received my approval and completed all my pre-op testing(blood work, EKG, chest x-rays) the day after that.  Can you tell that I'm ready to get this show on the road??!!!

So, my surgery date is set for Fri. Sept. 9th.  I have decided on the Realize Band.  I began my 2 week pre-op diet on Aug 26th.  Today is day 4 on the diet and it has been rough.  I am very hungry and cranky.  I'm allowed 2 protein shakes, 1 can of V-8, 1 protein snack bar, 1 Lean Cuisine and some veggies per day until surgery.  It's supposed to be 800-1000 calories, 70-90 grams of protein and 70-80 grams of carb.  I'll tell you one thing, it doesn't seem like enough cause I'm hungry...yea, I know, I already mentioned that, LOL! 

Headed tomorrow to pick up items that I'll need post-surgery.  I plan to be completely prepared so all I have to worry about is healing.

I'll be back in a day or so.  See ya soon!
Amy
