Today marks two things:

1.) Exactly 1 week (7 days****il my pre-op liquid diet & my pre-op tests @ Roger Williams Hospital.

2.) Exactly 3 weeks until my RNY surgery with Dr. Pohl @ Roger Williams Hospital.



IS THIS REAL??? It seems so close...yet so far away!

Mary.... how was your first day??

I want details... so I know what to expect
 
I beg of you..... lol

Just wanted to say hang in there.  I cant help dont have UHC  I did  a few years ago.  But WLS was excluded from my policy.  The only thing i know about it from someone who has UHC the surgery must be done at a center of Excellence.  But they could have a  different plan then you do,  I know it sucks having to deal with them.

I survived! Breakfast and lunch were easy, dinner scared me.
My husband made steak and I was so scared it would get stuck..but it didn't thank god.
I chewed and chewed and re chewed. lol
 
I made a few items from the Weight Loss Surgery cookbook that were very good.
3 bean salad and sweet potatoes bake,

The bean salad is to have for lunch with my chicken lunch meat.
I guess I need to chill and not be so nervous about getting stuck. lol

I also have UHC and had a terrible time finding out the pre-auth requirements. I was caught between Cheryl in the office and UNC. I sent the office (Giaovanni) a written request to submit or tell me what I needed to do. Cheryl put it through and I was approved in a week. Now, I'm sure UNC has many different plans so there is no telling. There phone service at UNC, sucks! I was on ther for hours for days and could not get an answer other than have your Dr. submit and they will either approve or deny with an explanation.
