Approved! Finally!!!



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes2:I FINALLY GOT APPROVED!!! I've been working on this since May 2007 and I just got approved! Yay!!!! I am so freakin' excited! I love this forum! I have learned so much here! My insurance company (Aetna) and my insurance coordinator didn't seem to speak the same language and there was nothing but total miscommunication for so long! I took matters into my own hands and obtained copies of my info yesterday and faxed it this morning and got a call back TODAY! I don't really know why the insurance coordinator is on the payroll at my doctor's office, but who cares-I'VE BEEN APPROVED. I'm hungry already:wink2:

I have so much support from my fiance' and this forum is just the cat's pajamas, so I can do this! Now I have to post a ticker and a picture and....wow! I'm so excited! So many of you have helped me with your posts and don't even know it. Thanks!

Good for you I have been going to True Results in Austin since Oct. doing the 3 months of dieting and phys. evaluation for the Atena approval what was the biggest problem that you had to get approved. They will submit the paper work on Jan 23 for approval. Then the wait starts.

DWH did you do another diet before the three month to get a total of six or just three months and that's it? I have been told you have to do a total of six months in the past two years.

No, just the just the 4 months with true results. Today was the last visit with them and they are sending it to Atena today, I will find out if it works or not.

Congrats. I have a problem with my doctor's office. They just don't seem to care whether I am approved or not. I got denied and after constantly hounding them they sent my appeal out to Aetna POS in December. I finally got aggravated and sent a letter to Aetna explaining why I felt I needed the surgery. They said to call the last week of January. So I am waiting again.

      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.
