Anyone from Seattle, Washington?



Recommended Posts

Went to my dietician and they have sent a pre-authorization to my insurance. I am so worried that something will keep me from approval! I am definetly obese and my BMI is well in the required area however I do not really have any other comorbitities (yet). Has anyone came across this issue?

If you are at a provider's office by the time you see the NUT they would not be wasting their time with you if they thought or knew your insurance wouldn't cover. If your BMI is over 40 you should be fine with no co-morbs. Hey, we are having a support group for people in Bothell at the Lyon's den cafe on Sun 1/25 at 3pm. Its open to anyone pre or post surgery and welcome to all types WLS as well. Join us!

I had no comorbidities and was approved at a BMI of 40. It may depend on your record of previous efforts however. I had tried everything in the book.

      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.
