Still waiting on my approval....should I call?



Recommended Posts

Okay so I had my last office visit on 5/30/13 and they said that I should hear from them within two weeks and I'm still waiting. I know today is only day 15.....should I call? I had some vacation time scheduled for later month and I'm probably going to have to cancel it. I had scheduled it expecting to have my surgery by now.

I'd call em! I'm aggressive tho! we thought my husband was deploying mid May so I let them know up front I was on a time line and I would call until I found out what I wanted. I had 2 wk wait til my surg got scheduled.

I went ahead and called them. I was hesitant to call because the info packet given from the office advises against calling. I just called and told them I was anxious to know if I was approved and when I should expect a surgery date. My vacation is perfect, the kids are out of school, my birthday is coming, and my hubby is going out of town for a few days. I will have time to clean up without distraction.......well as I was typing this...they called me back and asked me if I attended the last seminar. I can't believe this.....so I have to cancel my vacation because I'm not wasting the days. Oh boy this sucks.

I'm right there with you!! I thought my stuff would be submitted after my last Appt on June 5, but they haven't submitted yet as the NUT wants me to see the pysch one more time because I gained 2 pds last month and I admitted to some emotional eating! I was sooo upset!! Now I can't even get in to her until July 1. I was hoping to have surgery July 2!!

      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.
