Denied!

Well I got my first setback yesterday. The insurance company is requiring a 6 month supervised weight loss and exercise. Yes, I know that it is not the end of the world, but yesterday it felt like it.

I am going to try to fight it because I have been o every diet ever invented, including a few of my own. Ever heard of the watermelon and pickle diet? Summer of '73, lost 40 pounds regained 50+ in '74.

There is also the little problem of my walking. After a childhood eventful enough for my own Grandmother to have nicknamed me "old Grace" and a young adulthood marked by falls that have put me in a scooter for distances longer than a few yards and cost me 2 & 1/2 inches in height in the last two years.

Perhaps I can, with the help of my doctors get the insurance company to see that the "clinical policy bulletin" is, like so many other things in life, NOT one size fits all.

Wish me luck

I do wish you the best of luck!

Chin up and don't give up.

One size does not fit all!

Dede,

I was sorry to hear about your set back. I know having to wait is a hard thing to do. I hope you will hear other people stories of denials in the beginning that ended with a banding and weight loss success. Wishing you all the best.

I was banded 5/26/04, following the insurance co. denial in 10/2003 (8 months). Hang in there! It's stressful, but just be sure that you get a copy of the insurance company's appeals process. You have to follow that to the "t". It takes time, and a lot of digging around on your part. But it can be done. Best of luck to you!

      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.
