FINAL Visit & Insurance Approval!!!



Recommended Posts

Okay, everyone...I have waiting for this day for SOOOO long!!! I've watched everyone with their submittals, consequent approvals, scheduled date, etc, and now it's my turn!! Oh my gosh, is this for real?? Finally??? After researching WLS for 10 years, waiting through the 6 month pre-surg diet plan, etc, etc.

So all is a go, my surgeon is writing the letter of necessity today, to be sent with my packet to BCBSIL early next week. They are going to let me set a tentative surgery date contingent on approval, of course. Oh, man. The roller coaster ride is now starting, please fasten your belts, people! You're gonna be hearing a lot from me now, lol!! :D

Love you all so MUCH and thanks for being here!!!

Start calling 2 days after your file is submitted! When you finally hear that you are approved it will take about a week before you get your letter confirming...it is a great feeling! Good luck to you!!!

Congrats! I didn't wait for my confirmation letter. I called the dr office as soon as I knew I was approved. They can call and get confirmation from BCBS.

      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.
