Good good good for you! How exciting! Question, how much weight did you loose in the pre op diet? I am going in for my 5th month weight in this coming Monday and I don't think I have lost enough weight to satify the insurance company. I have BCBS

I have not started my diet as of today, but I have lost about 13 pounds on my own.

That's great....My surgeons office submitted my paperwork on October 12 and today the insurance specialist at the surgeons office called me and told me the the Medical Director approved it and my insurance will pay 90%! I'm so excited. I go to meet with the surgeon on Wed, October 27th. to do paperwork and set a date.:)

That is awesome. Congrats!

I signed my consent forms and all appointments are done for me so I am hoping that insurance approves everything and I get a date during Thanksgiving week, due to time off work and vacation time. If not, my Plan B is during Christmas week.

Are you more excited than scared? It is a new journey and I am so ready, too.

Wish you the best.

      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.
