Waiting... still waiting...



Recommended Posts

So my paperwork was submitted on 6/20/16 and I'm super nervous that my insurance provider hasn't come through. Plus my insurance provider says it could take up to 30 days. Ugh, I've been so frustrated. Particularly since I've been reading a few of the threads and everyone has been getting approved super fast. I've been calling everyday for updates. But I keep thinking to myself (warning, it about to get spiritual) God wouldn't have put this idea in my head if He didn't think I could be successful.

Patience, Grasshopper. Patience.

And , in my opinion-- (getting spiritual back at ya! :) ), God works in mysterious ways, but always in the RIGHT way.

Let us know WHEN your approval comes through. :)

Just got off the phone with BCBSIL and the tech read my notes and she said it looks like I will be approved. She said they're still working it but I should expect to have it closed and a letter sent out by Wednesday or Thursday. So I'll try back than. SOOO EXCITED

I started in May (mid-May) as well! It's happening much faster than I could have imagined! Currently schedule for July 27 assuming I get approved

Don't stress. It'll happen. My last Dr's visit was the beginning of April. I didn't hear back sayibg i was approved until the Friday before Memorial Day. Due to unforseen circumstances my surgery isn't until August 15th. BUT, it's ok. This will give me time to work on other things such as toning and trimming my body, preparing my household for this new lifestyle change,etc. So take this opportunity to get some things in order before your surgery that may be beneficial to you after your surgery.

Wishing you the best! Be blessed!

I am a newbie, I just got my primary care physician to put my referral in for vgs on June 30th.

So when you say approved are you talking about the approval from your pcp or from the surgeons submission after you get all your test done?

      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.
