Approved!!!!! Finally!!!!!



Recommended Posts

It seems like I have been on this journey for so long, and now it seems to be paying off. My wife got a phone call from my Dr. on Friday and the insurance company finally approved the surgery. I have to call Monday to see what the next step is. I am so relieved. I had to fight tooth and nail with them to get this far.

Congrats. It is good to see some people getting approved. I am waiting for my appeal from Obestiylaw.com to go in. You'll probably start the pre-op diet soon.

Congratulations! I know how good you feel. I was denied three times from my insurance company. Then finally, after appealing each and every one of the denials, I was approved. It was such a frustrating ordeal. When the nurse from our insurance company called to tell me I had been approved, I have to admit I cried. I was so relieved. I'm now in a 6 month required program to get 5% of my weight off on my own to show my committement. Then in for the lapband, probably early summer. I really hope all news is good news from here on out for you! Good Luck!

I call my Dr. today and my surgery is scheduled for November 24th. The day before my Birthday. What a great gift. Untill I talked to the Dr. today I was almost worried that it was all a joke or dream. Really looking forward to getting this done. :D

      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.
