I Had To Call The Insurance Company But I Got Approved!



Recommended Posts

So my insurance company was taking too long to send an approval I call my doctors office and they claimed that they were working on it after a week and a half I decided to check up on it myself I call the insurance company I asked to speak to a nurse asked her to verify my file she came back on the phone and approved it

YES YES YES SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS FOR YOURSELF MY DOCTORS OFFICE WAS UPSET BUT I COULD CARE LESS

I HAVE A DEADLINE BEFORE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE U.S. TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND THEY HAVE A JOB TO DO

;) no offense to anyone but I am happy

I got approved last week and am having my surgery on MONDAY here in Amarillo...This is a redo for me I had a lapband removed in December due to complications. Did not ever imagine they would OK it this time since I am 30 lbs less than when I had the lapband.

But praising God it is getting done.

That's great! I'm happy for you! I went today for medical clearance by my primary care physician...and would u believe I lost 5lbs. I really haven't been sticking to the preop diet. I know its bad but I have been trying! Well I'm anxiously waiting for surgery on the 23rd and I hope and pray it all goes well!

      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.
