Jerzygurl 372 Posted August 23, 2013 Ejs sorry for the delay. I received my date prior to insurance approval. I should have all my requirements met by 1 Sept. I have Blue Cross Blue Sheld Federal and the Dr has dealt with them often so they are used to working through the process and obtaining it rather quickly. Yep. My neighbor has BCBS Federal and it was a snap. I have NJ BCBS Horizon Direct Access and the doctor told me it's one of the fastest approval wise too. I actually was already approved months ago, but ran into a health situation, so had to postpone it all. Insurance company said as long as surgery is done this year, and the doctor resubmits updated paperwork and there are no drastic changes (there aren't), the approval will still stand and I don't have to go through the process all over again. So after my last appointment with NUT on 10/1, he's looking to schedule me very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

back2barb78 890 Posted August 24, 2013 Try out unjury. Love it! They have a sampler pack. Good luck! I ordered some Unjury and synthrax sampler packs, the large chicken Soup and unflavored unjury tubs (figured these were safe buys), and I went to GNC today and bought all the flavors of the single Isopure Protein drinks to taste. They are on sale right now. I also got some different flavored muscle milks, core power Protein Drinks and EAS myoplex drinks. Wow! Lots to taste test over the next few weeks!! Better than wasting money on cases/tubs of things I don't like. I plan on freezing small amounts too or maybe making Popsicles out of them and see if that works. Just some ideas I had! {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktodd 23 Posted August 24, 2013 Melissa1234 - I am on Ability and Pristiq but my Pristiq is not crushable so I have to go on something else for a couple of weeks which scares the crap out of me. Thanks to all of you for keeping me grounded and realizing that this really is the best decision I have ever made - just can't wait for the actual surgery! I take Pristiq also & really do not want to switch... Do we have to?!? Why can't we swallow pills? It's not that big! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktodd 23 Posted August 24, 2013 I was set for Sept. 9 but just got moved to Oct. 14 due to financing issues. I'm ready!!! Not even really nervous now, just want this time to fly by! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyRitz 28 Posted August 24, 2013 I am planning on October but I'm starting to freak out a bit. Been researching nonstop and thinking and thinking and waaaay over-thinking and I'm driving myself crazy! Has anyone else gone through this? I've got a bad case of the "what if's?" 1 maia79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fierce 1 Posted August 24, 2013 I feel ya I am researching things all the time. My brother had the surgery a year ago and said he wishes he did it 10 years ago. He's never felt better so I hang onto that. My surgery is October 8TH. IN some ways I wish it was tomorrow so I could get this going Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
