Did Anyone HONESTLY Think They'd Be Denied and They Were Approved??



Recommended Posts

Did anyone really have a bad feeling of being denied but were approved anyway? What made you think you'd be denied?? Thanks!!

I was denied because my BMI was 35.1 and I didn't have one of three conditions my insurance company was looking for. I wrote two appeal letters, gattered letters of support from all of my doctors and was approved on the second go around, but I also ate during that time and raised my BMI to 37.6 by the time I was approved.

I too thought I'd be denied, my bmi was 37 and I have no co-morbidity. However, no one ever gave it a second glace, everything went through just fine, from my doctor to the insurance to the surgeon. Almost too easy, I kept waiting for something to mess it up!

      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...

        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.
