Approved in 3 days!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited, I can't believe it happened this fast. My paper work was faxed the first time on 3/17. Called my insurance one week later on 3/24 to check the status. They told me they had never received anything from my surgeon's office. Called the surgeon's office and let them know that the fax had not gone thru. They refaxed it that same day (3/24) and I found out yesterday that my surgery was approved and I'm scheduled for April 14, 2008!!:)

Dear IRC....good for you for taking a step in a heathy direction....looks like you are the pefect candidate for this surgery! Good for you for jumping through the hoops and making it work! I am 49 now and probably in a few years I will be the perfect candidate too....too bad they want us to wait that long!

all the best,

marg

      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.
