Aaahhh! So, I finally did my last labs (that my insurance required) on Tuesday and my surgeon's office called yesterday morning to tell me they had my approval! I can't believe it went so quickly. Great way to start my family's vacation :) I still have a few things to do before surgery (scope, one more class and a couple more labs) but it'll be here before you know it. My date is October 21st. (I have BC/BS Blue Choice of Iowa)

Congrats to you. I got my approval on the 28th. I was shocked because my insurance coordinator had barely submitted on the 26th.

Thank you everyone! My husband and I were so excited, we were like kids at Christmas! Now that I have a date I see light at the end of my tunnel. I started the process in Jan 2013 but after a couple months we realized it was going to be too expensive for our family. Fast forward a year, new job w/better insurance and here we are. The wait has made me better prepared I think though! Can't wait to make my "Sleeved!" post :)

      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.
