Hang in there. Your doctor office should have a barometric insurance specialist. Her job is to help you get approved. I have heard of people personally writing insurance. Keep pushing for yourself and a better life. Don't give up.

I have felt defeated with the red tape but I can see the light at end of tunnel. Every now in then...lol

Where you from?

Don't worry I was denied in April, I appealed it and just found out on Monday that my appeal was approved. Hang in there. Everything happens when it's supposed to. You'll have your surgery sooner than you know! ????

Hang in there. There's no way around the waiting, but you will reach your goal of surgery. And it will have been more than worth whatever you had to go through!

I know how you feel. I had a consultation with a surgeon and go figure he decided to leave the area. They told me they were interviewing another experienced surgeon and to call back in a few weeks. Needless to say six weeks later he still had not been interviewed. Finally he was interviewed on 7.10 and now i am waiting to see if he even accepted the position. After that I'm going to have to research him. I'm not waiting much longer, I will just have to travel further away. This point is you are not the only one with frustrations! Good Luck!

      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.
