When does the 6 moth waiting period start?



Recommended Posts

I am wondering the same thing also! I have the six rows filled out, an appointment in every month since feb, and am wondering if I have to wait another month. I had my sixth appointment today, and am hoping I don't really have to wait until September for approval. With school about to start again, the sooner this is started/done the better.

Call your insurance company to find out.

Oh no! I was hoping that I was going to be able to somehow squeeze this in before Dec 31st! My first appt was 7/9...I don't think it's possible. :-(

I had a 6 month wait but by time my 6 months of appointments where up, it was at least another month before my surgery was scheduled. There were no open surgery slots. Apparently this is a very popular procedure :unsure: . I hope things move quickly for you. I think this waiting is the worst part,,uuhhggg

      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.
