Whoever said patience is virtue...SHUTUP



Recommended Posts

If you did the diet and have appropriate documentation including weights for two years, then your appeal should be successful. I wouldn't be too worried if you have your ducks in a row. Tons of people have an initial denial just to find success just a short time away. Good luck.

Seems like Aetna makes a lot of 'mistakes' as far as denying a lot of claims the first time around that really do qualify. I hear it on here all the time. I also have Aetna, but am not through insurance yet for lapband. But, I've had to deal w/them on some other things (like the billing for my second c-section) and let's just say that they don't have their act together in a lot of ways. They also outsource a lot overseas (not saying that is bad, but quality can suffer, especially in the first review of things). I found that once I escalated my billing issues, they were resolved quite quickly. Its just the first go around they got at least half of my billings wrong. And, it was a nightmare because I was going to the hospital 2x per week up until the delivery date for stress tests so there were A LOT of bills for them to mess up! Anyway, hang in there. It does take some patience, but I'm sure you'll get it worked out w/Aetna.

      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.
