Awaiting ins approval...



Recommended Posts

So my surgeons office finally submitted all my paper work for prior authorization I've only been waiting 2 weeks for them to finally submit it!!!!

I'm extremely worried that it won't get approved, I think bc I want this so badly. I'm Worried about getting a denial...

I've been praying and hoping all day for an approval so if anyone gets a free minute to say a prayer for me it would be greatly appreciated!!!

@@bridget1015 Congrats, I am envious. My records got submitted to insurance yesterday so I am trying to be patient and play the waiting game. It's not easy when you have been working so long to get to this point and to know that it may have all been for nothing, you are at the mercy of the insurance company. Oh well, keeping good vibes going.

OMG right after I posted this the Dr. office called and I was approved!! December 2nd is my day!! I have an appt. for my endoscopy at the end of this month and one class and some labs and my pre-op physical in November and then my 2 week liquid diet starts Nov 18th and I am on my way to the losers bench! So excited!! I hope everyone else gets approved this fast, I am blown away!

Chip305 I def know the feeling I was really worried I'd get denied and had my hopes up for nothing. I'm very surprised how fast my ins approved it and very thankful. I have an appt with the nutritionist tomorrow and buy all my stuff for my 9 day pre op liquid diet and to get stuff for after surgery. I'll hopefully know my date in a week or so! Thanks for the prayers and good luck wishes!! Good luck to you guys I'll pray for u also!!

Hi everyone!

I am also waiting for approval. My last appt with NP and NUT was 9/25. My paperwork should have been submitted on 9/29, but i'm not sure if it has. I'll call the office tomorrow to check status. Hopefully I hear something soon. I'm losing my motivation :(

Don't lose your motivation hun. I have been there before and it was not good. I already had gotten approved with my previous insurance and then they decline me a week later. I know this waiting game sucks but it will all work out.

      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.
