to get a surgery date after your insurance approval? Just wondering what the differences were. I'm afraid its gonna take a long time to get a surgery date because my surgeon is the head of the department and his appointments were booking into april just for preop. The scheduler made an appointment for me because i work at the hospital and they try to get us through the process quickly she said. I'll see for sure in 10 days that's when i have my preop

When I received my approval they scheduled me for surgery about 3 weeks out. That left time for a couple final appointments and two weeks for the pre-op diet. Good luck with yours!

I saw the doctor and they set it for 2.5 weeks out, but I had to wait a week to see him, so about 4 weeks or so...

      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...

        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.
