well i am 17 and soon to be 18 within the next month. i am around 325 and 5'9''. i have many health complications in result of the weight. i have policystic ovarian syndrome, high bp, pre-diabetic, psuedotumor cerebri, and recently, heart issues. i wanted to know if anyone has HEALTH NET insurance and what their general program is. i know it varies from policy to policy, but most insurances have a basic tract, so i have heard. such as classes? time frame? financial? age? physical/health complications and requirements?

thank you

yeah i dont think it will be either. my doctor today did say i qualify but i can begin consultation until my 18th birthday. i guess in california and HMO you need to be 18. oh well its next month. but no time or money is a issue for me. for goodness sake, its my life.

The best thing you to get the answers to your questions is to dialogue directly with your health plan ... their phone number is on your ID card. Tell them what you're looking at, and ask them what their guidelines are. If you feel you don't the service or the answers you need, then ask the rep how to go about the process of filing a "grievance." This is HMO-speak for elevating the issue to the next level, and they'll ensure that you have the info you need. Good luck.

      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.
