Hello out there in VSG land. I am trying to be patient playing this waiting game. I had my seminar with Dr. Feiz from Valencia, CA on 2/9 and have been waiting for my insurance approval. I know it takes time to get everything together to send to insurance but OMG... this is killing me. I want this surgery so bad. I read all the forums and try to soak up all this information like a sponge :) I heard from the coordinator that she sent my packet into Aetna last week and it usually takes 5-7 business days from submission so now I am watching the calendar and trying not to to call the office for updates every day. Thanks for letting me vent. I hope to be logging on very soon with a surgery date.

Has anyone had Dr. Feiz do their surgery? Just curious.

Thanks,

Lisa

Lisa,

I broke down and emailed my coordinator again. I just had to know if they actually submitted my packet to insurance. I feel bad bugging them but waiting is so hard. I don't even feel like this is real yet. Once the approval comes in (fingers crossed) then I know that feeling will change. Anyway, there are lots of us out here in VSG land with you!! I will keep your quick approval in my prayers tonight.

Good Luck,

Heather

Call Aetna them selves to ask. My information was submitted to Aetna at 430 on a Monday and I had my answer from them on Thursday AM. After I got off the phone with Aetna I called my Dr to schedule the appt and they didn't even know I was approved yet!!!

      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.
