My heart leaped out of my heart when I heard the word approval from the lady at BCBS Al. Now to wait for the approval letter to be sent to my MD's office and to me! Praying for a surgery by the end of the year! Best news EVER!

I got my approval last week as well. I am hoping to schedule by the end of December. I have my final appointment with the surgeon next week and that is when I get my surgery date. I hope all goes well for you.

How long does the letter take to get to the MD's office you think?

It could take several days. When I found out I was approved I had my insurance CSR email me a copy so I could forward it to the dr office immediately.

      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.
