Well, my surgery was cancelled!



Recommended Posts

Seems my insurance won't approve the surgery due to my surgeon being out of network! I have had to change my primary care physician and I have to wait until August 1st for an appointment to TRY to get a new referral. I was on the phone for hours trying to find a solution ... just about to give up the idea of surgery. I was getting cold feet anyway! Thinking maybe I should try dieting again!

I'm so sorry... Don't lose hope yet! Keep trying!

Just keep trying if this is what you really want to do. I was told I would have to wait almost a year after approval from my insurance company for an date!! I got fed up and I just got my date...(after 6 months of waiting) they were giving me the run around!

I wasn't covered by insurance ... i went to Mexico. To dr. Almanza at Jerusalem hospital . Cost me about 4000.00 plus flight.

I am 7 weeks out and doing fine. Lost 28# so far.

      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.
