Good Morning! Today I received a call from Blue Cross Blue Shield that my lapband was approved! (After 9 months of an uphill battle with a psychologist who did not know what the heck she was doing) I admit I am nervous and happy. I'm also getting married next year (10/28/06) so the stress is on! Any suggestions to a newbie? My surgeon is Dr. Eric Wilson with UT Physicians Group. Surgery hopefully scheduled for 12/28/06. Thank you!!

Good Morning--Yes, I have BCBS Anthem. They rewrote their medical policy in June 2005 stating that the band was no longer considered experimental so it is an approved procedure just like the bypass. The denied it at first because my psychologist did not write her recommedation based on the medical policy. They were really tough wanting her letter to comply exactly.....

      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.
