Insurance change--Roller coaster--happy ending!



Recommended Posts

My surgery has been moved to MAY 24th!!!! OMG that is right around the corner!!!! What an emotional 24 hour roller coaster. Yesterday I found out my employer was switching insurance companies effective 6/1 so the surgery approval that I already received from my current insurance company and 6/15 surgery date would be useless. I was so upset. I contacted the office manager at the surgeon’s office and today she called me and told me she was able to move my surgery up a couple weeks to be covered under my current insurance. I was annoyed because it was my surgeons office who has drug this process out unnecessarily long by asking for tests with long lead times (sleep study, EGD, DEXA scans) AFTER I already completed the program (nutritional classes/education, psychological evaluation, etc.) early March and received insurance approval. Had they asked for things earlier in the process I would have already been sleeved. Regardless, she went above and beyond for me and I am so thankful for her help! So now I need to start my pre-op diet and get ready for the next journey!! :D :D

      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.
