I called my insurance today to check on the status of my referral for the consultation with the surgeon, and the surgeons office never submitted it! So of course I called them she she lied and told me that she submitted it on Friday. Now I am a week behind schedule...

Nenna, I had the same thing happen to me, I met with my surgeon on the 3rd, they told me they sent it in on the 5th but didn't actually do it until last Friday! It's gonna be close but hoping to have the approval in the next week.

Hang in there, we're almost there! Keep on top of the insurance to make sure they have it and maybe they might speed up the review/approval.

When are you scheduled?

Well what sucks for me is that I have to go through 2 approval processes. This one is only to see the surgeon for a consultation. I will still need to go through another approval for the actually procedure. ????

      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.
