Recommended Posts

Ok little background. I had started preop diet back in december and finished in June. My surgeon sent soem info to my primary insurance Aetna. Well they said they wanted me to do a psych eval even though the clinical policy stated I didnt have to due to no past issues etc. Well I was going to go on the 22nd and was going to have to pay out of pocket $260 because my insurance wouldnt cover the doctor. Well I just got home and my phone started ringing. I answered and the lady asked for me I told her it was me. She said whom she was (she was the nurse/receptionist that sends the stuff off and i been talking to almost everyday lately) well she asked when my psych appt was. I told her tuesday and she said well I need you to cancel it. My heart sank I was like oh no and asked why, she said and I qoute "Your Approved" all I could get out was How. She said that she decided to send the stuff into insurance today and take a chance and she wrote a letter stating that I have never had any psych issues and that I was coming upon the time running out, and she said she got a approval almost immediately. Yall I am so freaking excited. She said the lady will review charts tomorrow and will call for my preop appt (if needed) and that I can have surgery as soon as my surgeon gets back which will be the 2nd week of august. Yall I am literally bouncing off the walls and so excited. I started to cry. I was so scared they would find a reason to deny me cause they have been such a pain in the butt lately but nope i got the approval. And they gave her a approval number and will be sending the letters out. God is truly awesome! I just got to praise him!!:):thumbup:;):thumbup::thumbup:

I amso happy for you Nina. I am sure a great stress has been lfted. I am glad you have that part behind you. Waiting for the insurance approval is the most agonizing thing I ever did - except give birth:tongue_smilie:

      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.
