Hello everyone!

I finally got approved after working on this for 6 months. Alittle of my story. I have been big my whole life. In October I started this process. I got denied in February because I had gained weight.(My place never said I had to lose weight just had to show up to my appointments). So I appealed it and got approval, the letter came on May 19th. I scheduled my surgery fo June 9th. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I feel a big weight off of my shoulders.

Congratulation! I was excited and scared at the same time too. It went better than I thought so I guess I didn't need to be nervous but there is no way anybody could have convinced me otherwise before. You'll do fine and once the weight starts coming off you will be so glad you went through it all. :biggrin2:

I totally get the waiting thing my doct faxed my appeal like on the 10th of April. Got a letter from the doctors saying they received on the 29th of April and found on on the 19 of May. All the while checking my mailbox everyday for news.

      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.
