So my feathers are a little ruffled. I finished my last required visit on the 8th of this month. My ppwrk was just submitted to BCBS-Ca one week ago. I had my pre-op testing done yesterday. So I crossed my fingers and called the ins co today only to be told it's under review AND could take 30 days for approval. My surgery center only offers the pre op class on Tuesdays. I was praying to get in next week. I'm hoping that she's giving me a generic answer and it doesn't take that long. Ughhh :-(

That is just a generic answer...I called everyday...i have BCBS Illinois though...but I called everyday and they said that same thing to me everyday..however I was submitted on a thurs and approved that following Monday...hopefully it won't be much longer...keep calling even if they get snippy. This is your dream...make it happen!

Thanks for the encouragement. Hopefully work is busy tomorrow so I won't think about it too much. I'll probably call again Friday.

Took 5 days for me with bcbs.

So of course I called again today and was told that my clinicals were received yesterday and it's 5 days from then before a decision would be made. Seems like everyone I talk to puts a different spin on this.

Don't worry....BCBSCA took six days to approve mine.

      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.
