Recommended Posts

ok this went really fast...I talked to the office yesterday to see if they submitted my information to BC/BS and it was around 2pm. She told me she was just gathering everything and was going to fax it over. First thing this morning BANG!!!! a call your approved and your scheduled for Feb 11th @ 1:30.Liquid diet starts on the 4th.:smile2:

So all of a sudden I'm scared and excited at the same time.

I know I will be fine but god I've been working on this through 2 different insurance companies.

So wish me luck..

I have two small children and I am a bit nervous about the general anesthesia because they need their mommy, but I think everything will be okay. We only have two weeks to go;yay!!!!!!..... I know I can't think about anything else..... Hopefully we can share our journey throughout this post. I wish you all the luck.

I also got approved today and will be finding out my date tomorrow! I know i was soooo excited to get the message but my nerves started to kick in as well! I have two sets of twins at home ( two 3yr olds and two 2 yr olds) so i am also kind of wondering how coming home after surgery will be! i think my biggest worry is not drinking when eating,i know i can do it but this whole process will be completely life changing and that is a very good thing!:unsure:

Congratulations!:biggrin: I also know the feeling, as I got word this week that I got approved and my surgery date is 2/25/10. I will attend my first support meeting on 2/8/10 and have to do a two week liquid diet starting 2/11/10. Anthem BC/BS is my provider and I'm in New Mexico. Like yourself I'm both excited and scared, but know that its all good:thumbup:

      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.
