The wait is killing me!

Everything is submitted to insurance for approval. Just give me an answer! I can't help but feel like life is on hold until I can get this all scheduled out!

I was right there with you until last week Friday. I got the best Valentie's Day gift could ever give me.

I started my journey at the end of Oct 2013 and finished my 90days 1/30/14 paperwork was submitted on 2/3/14. I called every other day!! I am actually glad I did because my docs sat on someone's desk for a week and a half before it moved. I called them on Thursday and got it escalated. I had an approval before Friday afternoon.

Now I am waiting to go to my surgeon to schedule my surgery. I pray that happens Thursday morning. I know it's tough. Stay positive and don't feel bad if you wanna call your insurance company until you get your approval.

Feeling the same way, can't wait til I'm approved (that's if I do get approved) had psy evaluation 2/10..that was the last hoop..now still haven't heard from doctor office. If they submitted yet to insurance or if I failed psy test...maybe he thinks I'm crazy...lol

Oh, I've already made myself a nuisance at both the doctors office and my insurance company. Started seeing my pretesting bills popping up on my insurance. I paid $0 for an EKG and a chest X-ray, but over $200 for the psych eval where we just talked about our recent traveling experiences, and $10.90 for the dietician who was actually worth 10 times that. Insurance is such a strange thing. Maybe I'll hear something by Friday? Think I'll call if I haven't heard back by then. Repeatedly. :)

      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.
