Waiting for approval is driving me bonkers



Recommended Posts

I have completed all the steps and have lost 55lbs and I am just waiting for approval from my surgeon. I know they schedule the surgeries about a month out and there are only two days left for March. I am trying to be patient but IM SO READY! Okay...just needed to vent a little.

I thought I would be having surgery in jan. I finally got my surgery date today and it's March 16th. Way farther out than I hoped but I was going crazy waiting day by day! I kept calling the clinic everyday, I bet she finally worked on my case just to get me off her back! Lol I tried not to be annoying! Now, to get through a whole more month!

Like the person above me said, I was expecting a November surgery date and FINALLY got a date for march 1st. This whole process varies so much and every program is different.

That being said, a lot of the delay was because of my old case worker, since having a new one things have gone pretty quickly.

It'll happen! Beg them lol.

I emailed my surgeon on Friday and dropped by yesterday. The surgeon emailed me yesterday to tell me I was approved and I just have to wait for a date. I will be calling the coordinator tomorrow to check in.

      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.
