Ok guys...

I finished all my tests and everything for the insurance company. Everything is submitted. I am now just waiting for my Doctor's office to call me and let me know if I am approved. They said my issurance company usually takes 15 days to approve. I have started buying things as if I am approved and just saving the receipts. I won't have much time to do all that if I just wait for an answer to do all that. Keep your fingers crossed. :eek:

I would suggest you consider calling the insurance company as well. Sometimes they seem more receptive if a 'customer' (i.e. patient) calls in addition to the doctors office.

Hey,

Thanx for the advice. My woman at the doctor's office who is handing my stuff is great and will call me as soon as she knows.

I have BCBS Empire Blue out of New York.

My insurance packet was submitted one day and I was approved the next. It was awesome. The insurance company (the caseworker) even called and congratulated me on my approval! They were wonderful.

You guys are so lucky with your fast approvals. My paperwork was sent in on Thursday and I hate the waiting and it has only been 2 days. Should I call them next week or should I just wait for them to contact my Drs office?

      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.
