Approved but switched drs



Recommended Posts

So i started my journey in august. I went thru my psychiatric evaluation and nutritionist appointment (my insurance only required the one) but due to the hospital being 3 hours away i switched and am seeking another hospital to go to. Well today i received a letter that i was approved for surgery October 20th. Anyways now im pretty bummed. Could have had surgery sooner. But there is no way id realistically be able to travel so far on such a short notice. Also, has anyone had surgery at clovis (california) community hospital? Thats probably where i am going to go now.

I'm going through ALSA in Fresno, CA and I will go to Fresno heart and surgery center, but Clovis community is a really nice hospital, I've only been to the er and maternity ward though...

@ i was going to use them. But when i went to a seminar and initial consultations with a surgeon were already into January. Hopefully clovis community is a bit quicker.

Lol yes! I tried to make the initial consult in June and my appt wasn't until mid August.... Now I'm just waiting on the egd appt which isn't until nov 25... Lol figures that would be my luck, to have another appt that takes 3 months!! I'm ready, I just have to be patient..✌

      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...

        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.
