  1. Finally on the books. 1/19 w/ dr Adam smith at Baylor trophy club. Anyone the same? Date?doc?facility? Looking to see how it's gonna go down.
  2. I'm pretty open about my surgery. It's my choice. They don't have To like it. I usually ask them same question back... Have YOU thought about it. Do you know what it takes do you know what ive dealt with to get to this point. Usually shuts them up or opens up to actually have an open conversation.
  3. Where are you guys getting this wonderful little miracle product?

  10. Most people swear by premier. I have a whole case I can't seem to choke down. I want try syntrax or unjury.
  11. When you get your approval letter from your insurance provider it should state on there when it's good until. Mine, Aetna, is good for six months.
  12. blame HIPPA...haha Tell them "Due to HIPPA I am not at liberty to say" and change the subject. lol people are so nosy, eh?!?!

    First Appeal-DENIED.

    Katie- Have they given you any positive feedback even though now real result yet? Something to let you know that they are pushing for you? I can't wait (as I sure all of us feel this way) for your APPROVAL. I have faith that it's on it's way!! Hearts, Hugs, and Prayers, Darla
  15. I called Aetna today to see and I have been APPROVED! Super quick turn around. Waiting on the surgeon's office to call me since I beat them to the punch, ha. Good luck!
  16. My paperwork was rec'vd by Aetna yesterday (monday 9/16). I'm counting the days to approval. I will update this post when I hear back. Hoping it's soon.

    First Appeal-DENIED.

    I admire determination!! Best of luck!!
  18. NO!!!! =( I am so sad for you!!! WTH is wrong with these insurance companies!?!?
  19. I'm not a fan of the premier. It and the Atkins bloated my stomach so bad. It's a little more sugar, but the EAS Soy is pretty good. I brew espresso, add tons of ice and use a scoop of the vanilla one. I really like it. There are a few milk (lactose) free products like: MHR 70+, unjury, Isopure, Syntrax nectar, and SmartForme shakes/drinks. Can't wait to read updates. Surgery is getting close!

    Type 1 Diabetics

    Yeah, I was going to cut my basal by 40% and actually wear my dexcom. Thanks for the add! Did they try and talk you into the sleeve? or were they reluctant to do the band due to the diabetes? Seems like the diabetes is always throwing the curve when it comes to operations. Was your A1C in tiptop shape? Mine is def. not, working on though. If you have time, you can send me the response in a private message. =)
