Hi I just want to share with everyone that has Emblemhealth HIP in NY and are going through the requirements, that the supervised weight loss program can be either 6 months weigh ins with your PCP -OR- 3 months with your surgeon. I called and researched and was sent the attached from Emblemhealth. Feel free to print and show your surgeon. I forwarded it to my surgeon and he approved it as well. Just want to make anyone with this insurance aware that you don't have to wait a whole 6 months. On that note, I am having my 3rd visit with my surgeon next week. Hopefully, I can get a date then.

Good luck!! I also had this plan; everything went PRETTY WELL though I had some problems with the particular hospital I wanted to go to. Even that got sorted though, you're going to be golden!!

Thank you. Did you do the 6 months or the 3 months? I just want to get this done already.

I only had to do 3 months, since I did it through a verified Bariatric program! I'm in Yonkers, so I went up to Montefior New Rochelle -- they have a great program, with a great monthly support group as well. I'm not sure quite where you're located, though I think I recognize your face from the NY thread. Queens, maybe?

Yes I'm from Queens. I'm going through my bariatric surgeon hopefully they approve me with 3 months visits to him.

So I had to do the 6 months because they said they'd rather be safe than sorry. If they would have submitted with only 3 months and they deny me then I have to wait another 3 months to resubmit. I finished all my requirements and paperwork was submitted today. Just waiting on approval and Surgery is set for Oct 17th. Wish me luck.

      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.
