Who's playing the waiting game with me?



Recommended Posts

So, I'm approved and all my pre testing evals are done. Now I'm just waiting on the final appointment with the surgeon and a surgery date. From what I understand it could be another two weeks. Fun times.

My waiting game is the next four weeks until surgery. Hopefully, it will go as fast as the last 6 months has. Good luck to both of you!

I waited FOUR long weeks for insurance approval...had myself convinced I was being denied. Finally approved after several calls from my coordinator to Aetna, surgery on 7/22.....trying to keep myself busy and not think about it constantly. Easier said than done. Good luck!

My waiting game is over 2 months until surgery. Patience is not one of my virtues.

I'm kinda on the fast track though since I'm self pay, no waiting on insurance to go through and no hoops to jump through. It took us 5years to save up for this and it feels so close and so far away at the same time.

Best of luck to everyone!

      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.
