    So I had to do the 6 months because they said they'd rather be safe than sorry. If they would have submitted with only 3 months and they deny me then I have to wait another 3 months to resubmit. I finished all my requirements and paperwork was submitted today. Just waiting on approval and Surgery is set for Oct 17th. Wish me luck.

    Thank you. Did you do the 6 months or the 3 months? I just want to get this done already.

    Hi all, Queens here!!!! I have Emblem Health Hip and my surgeon is Dr. Merola. I am going through my insurance requirements now. hopefully having surgery end of August. Anyone else have DR. Merola and having surgery end of August/beginning September?

    HI Emblem Health - HIP here as well. I'm from Queens. I researched all the HIP requirements and what the dr.'s office failed to notice was that you are required to do a 6 month weigh in with your PCP OR.....3 months with your surgeon. I am doing the 3 months with the surgeon. I have my second month visit on Wednesday. I can't wait to have the surgery already.

    Omg these posts give me so much hope. I too have PCOS and currently taking metformin and spyro. No help there. I'm going through my insurance requirements now hopefully having surgery by August.

    Wow 30g of protein, the BariatricPal ones are only 15g of protein and so are the soups. I tried the pudding and it tasted like strawberry flavored plastic - Horrible! You can either make a shake or a pudding, I tried pudding which is only 4 oz water instead of 8oz for shake. I will let you know how the soups are when I try them.

    HI all, Just wondering how long it takes for Emblem Health-HIP to approve and what are the requirements.
  13. RomAnca
    Yes my PCP already sent for my approvals. I already have been approved for the gastro. How was your endoscopy experience?
  14. RomAnca
    Dr. Merola said to do my monthly weigh ins with my PCP. So the first one was on 4/4/17. My 2nd one is going to be on 4/9. So September will be my last weigh in. In the meantime I'm going to see all the other dr.'s .

    Have you tried any of the BariatricPal foods? I just purchased the shakes and soup to try before my pre-op. What are some of the liquid diet things you are ingesting?

  24. RomAnca
    So the PCP visits what are they for? Weigh ins?
  25. RomAnca
