APPROVAL.....(IN ONE DAY)!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

After 7 months of participating on this wonderful site and being able to interact with all the amazing, inspirational and beautiful people on here, I am so proud to finally be able to say I HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR SURGERY (can you tell I'm excited? lol). After all the appointments, support groups and seminars I have attended it feels so good to finally be able to have the approval. So to everyone out there who is just getting started in the process or are in the middle of the process and things are getting a little rough, I am a living testimony that APPROVAL is possible and YOU CAN DO THIS, you deserve to have the things you want in life. I just called my insurance today (United Healthcare) to see if they had received my authorization claim and the rep on the phone told me it was already approved! I was in complete shock, she actually said I have been approved since Friday January 11th (that is when the surgeon's office submitted my info, so I was approved in ONE DAY!). My surgery date is February 4th at Alta Bates Summit Medical in Oakland, CA. I feel so blessed. To get what I never had (optimal health), I have done what I never did (not give up) and all the phone calls and pestering my doctors was worth it!:)

      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.
