Recommended Posts

No, sorry I don't have that. I have IHA, which I did find out I was approved!!! Waiting for a surgery date! I wanted to have it in May seeing I have high deductable which I have already met. Mu plan restarts June 1st. My very first appt I told them about the time crunch and then dr caravetta shattered his ankle. I know it is unseen circumstances but Jackie called me the other dY and told me that they wouldn't be booking me till June! So now I will have to pay my family deductAble to have the surgery! I was not too happy!

Hope you get your surgery date soon! We with bcbs of wny (medicaid based products) have to wait for the green light from ny to let ecmc take our insurances.... So even though I was recently approved, I'm on a waiting list until this happens (as others are before me). But I'm hoping/praying for a July surgery... *fingers crossed*

My prayers have been answered!!! I received a phone call this morning and surgery is scheduled for May 27th. They were able to get me in before my new insurance plan kicked in and I would have had to pay my deductable!!! So excited!!!

My doctor is submitting to insurance today for approval. Anyone in the Buffalo area have BCBS and how long did you wait for approval?

      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.
