Recommended Posts

I am on cloud 9 right now...I just found out the BCBS of Florida approved me for the surgery with no 6 month waiting/dr. supervised diet requirement! Holy crap! I was expecting to have to pay out of pocket...They just saved me $13,500!!!

I just had to share! :thumbup:

Good for you!! BCBS of Florida must have changed their policy. 5 yrs ago when I had BCBS Florida, we received a notice that effective Jan 1 the following year, they were no longer going to cover anything weight loss related... Glad to see that they have seen the light!!

Best of luck to you! How was the pre-op diet for you? I am totally mentally psyching myself up for it and I still have 1 month to go before I start. BCBS of Florida approved me in 2 days. Shocked the hell out of me! Please keep us updated on your progress!

The pre-diet for me was good. I was very excited to get going and determined not to let it bother me. My only concern now, is I am getting a cold and I'm hoping they won't delay the surgery. I'll find out tomorrow morning. I'll keep you posted on the results.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
