Yaaayy! I'm so excited! Finally heard back from dr office today (after being impatient, it's just been two days) and my insurance covers the surgery. I have to see a nutritionist and have a psych eval for when they approve it. And criteria bmi >35 with one or more co morbidity! My bmi is 38.4 and I have hypertension, so I hope this process goes fast! And I have a scheduled surgery date by July.

Very happy for you! And kind of jealous! My insurance requires upper GI, sleep apnea tests, nutritionist, psychiatrist, and physical. It turns out I have sleep apnea and need a machine to sleep at night! My upper GI is scheduled next week with blood work, and after that all my tests will be sent to insurance to (hopefully) get approved for banding!! Your lucky everything is going smoothly! Congrats!!

It is best to call the number on the back of your medical card or go to their website every Insurance varies so much for exampleI have Anthem BCBS which covers the surgery but it is through my husbands employer so luckily his employee didn't change the basic. Coverage that Anthem BCBS has he could have & I wouldn't. Be covered so that's why you have to call them directly

DeAna is correct the best thing to do is call your insurance, I also have BCBS they have a website so I went on that and found all the fine print to see what was needed and it made things a little easier.

      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.
