Iโ€™m currently on week five of my 4-8 week wait to hear from the insurance company. Anyone else waiting and want to commiserate with me?

Iโ€™m also waiting for other things in life to roll along so itโ€™s a just a season of waiting for me right now, over all. ๐Ÿ˜

Oh, I'm sorry to hear of your delay in hearing from insurance! I was told it would be four or more weeks for my insurance as well and my decision came back in 2 days. Now I'm waiting on the surgeon's office to call so we can arrange my pre-op visit to set my date. I think they do it on purpose to make sure that we're actually serious about the surgery and that it isn't just a passing phase or something.

I raise my glass of Water to you for your patience in waiting 5 weeks already!

Waiting is hard. Could you call your insurance company to check status and make sure it hasn't fallen through a gap? Good luck.

Well, I didnโ€™t have to wait much longer! They called me this morning! I am approved. I just need to figure out when will be a good time to schedule it because my boss is out on maternity leave until March 9th. I will have been at my employer 12 months end of April and will be eligible for FMLA at that time. I donโ€™t want to keep pushing it off though.

      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, Iโ€™m new here. Iโ€™m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I havenโ€™t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.ย

        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.
