I could've use a pen pal, I think. I'm pre-op, confused and have no support group in the area. I need a friend.

I can't drink all those protein shakes that are out, no matter what you mix with them and I'm in an area of the Midwest that for some reason doesn't carry much but the chocolate or vanilla shakes. So when I was visiting a friend in North Carolina I found nectar roadside lemonade. It has like 28 grams of protein per serving and you can mix it with water or crystal light lemonade. It tastes great with just water. Not a strong protein taste, just lemonade.

I just got a letter from insurance approving my surgery but it says something on there about a clinical review being required. Has anyone ever heard of this or know what it is?

Thanks! I'm just still afraid ill hit another roadblock. It seems like every time I get close something else stops the whole thing. And all the while my health is getting progressively worse.

I'm in north east missouri, near the Iowa border. Live right across the river from Quincy, Illinois.

I hear the same thing about it being his money that pays for everything. Only problem is if I don't make sure it gets paid before he gets a hold of "his money" it won't get paid. He also puts things in my name or opens accounts in my name and then let's them go bad, ruining my credit and I'm not supposed to be upset about it. I told him I want a divorce and he said "I won't let you do that".

I've been working on this for over a year. I was supposed to have surgery in August of last year. Had a date and everything but the army deployed both my surgeons. Then before they got new ones I moved. The doctor I'm with now said everything would transfer. Then the office said I'd have to do my psych eval again cause its in a different state. I had to pay out of pocket for that. Then they keep telling me that I don't have the right paperwork where the insurance says I have everything they just need to turn it in. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster.

So I called my insurance company today to find out if they've made a decision about my surgery. They said that they didn't have a request for it. They also mentioned that it usually only takes them five days to get approval. So I called my docs office back and told them that they said they submitted it two weeks ago. She told me that they send it to the hospital and it could take a month for the insurance to get back to them. I told her that I insurance said five days and she said "wow your on the ball ". Then she told me that the hospital goes over everything and can't tell me how long they will take to send it in from there and then she asks if I have a secondary insurance and if I've checked with them as well. I'm so frustrated I feel like giving up but I've come so far.
