The Waiting Game...



Recommended Posts

It's starting to look like the end of the tunnel! Called my doctors office yesterday afternoon to check progress of my pre determination and was told it would be an additional 30 days for review (which completely bummed me out). I call my insurance later that night and they tell me 'oh, we sent a letter out to your doctors office today that states it is a medical necessity and you are approved' WHOOP WHOOP!! So now I'm waiting to call the doctor 1st thing Tuesday morning to see when they can schedule me... I'm nervous now but so excited

Congrats! I am also in Chicago (if that is what your name implies). My surgeon was a month out after I got approved so be prepared. Good luck and I hope they can get you in soon!!

Thanks so much! I was wanting to have it done before the end of Feb so you've given me some hope for making my wish come true???? (I'm from Chicago but recently moved to Houston TX). Were you a sleeve also?

      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.
