First off, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope your marriage is a long and happy one. And as for the insurance, you should be good to go - if they have your name and you are on the policy, you're covered. If you want to be sure, call them up tomorrow and make sure, but I can't imagine you having trouble. I had a friend many years ago who got a new job with coverage as of the first day of employment, and his wife went into labor with their baby the NEXT DAY, nine weeks premature. He didn't even fill out the insurance paperwork until after the baby was born, but they were covered as of the day before, so over $200,000 of newborn intensive care was paid, no questions asked.

Some insurance companies have a 30 day waiting period for elective surgery. I'd call the HR Benefits Specialist with his company and ask.

      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.
