I got my call today. I was just approved! Surgery date 11/29!

10 days is pretty quick! I've been reading 3 and 4 week waiting periods that result in denial. Thanks for the feedback newme37 :-)

Sometimes you can get samples from GNC? I'd see if they reccommend any, or if your surgeon has any popular brands?

I love protein shakes! What kind are you using? A trainer I once had suggested Syntha-6. I've found now that it has probably more sugar than should be, but the chocolate is delicious! With ice and water. Sometimes I add a banana or sneak some veggies in there and I can't even taste them. Maybe it's time for a new shake?

So I have just completed my 6 month medically supervised weight loss progam. I lost 20 lbs in the last 6 months, not bad! But, I'm feeling a little anxious about the (Aetna) insurance approval. I'm sure it will go off without a hitch but I keep thinking that there will be a name mispelled or number inverted somewhere on my file that will cause my insurance to reject me. Sigh... I'm sure it's all in my head, but I need it all out! Meanwhile, what types of things do people do to prepare themselves for surgery? Any tips, tricks, suggestions? Thanks in advance.

ok well good luck! It is hard to lose and keep it off! I found myfitnesspal.com and the app to be very helpful. I log everything I eat and activity. It really help put things in perspective for me.

Just realized I typed. "Gramlast" not quite sure what that means! Oops. I meant "Last" Anywhoo-- thanks a lot. How did you gain? Do you have a goal weight loss for approval?

Congrats! Best wishes!
