Approved 3 monthsearlier than I expected



Recommended Posts

Yikes. I got a call yesterday with a surgery date. I didn't even know the info had been sent in, and frankly I haven't completed all of my stuff. I never met with the psychologist (hoping I won't have to) the nutritionist (will get to it shortly after, I think) etc. It really freaked me out. I am scheduled for August 31st.

I am afraid of surgeries and have never had one. My dog died from the anesthesia, though. I'll start the two week diet on Monday, but am wondering which piece prepares the liver. Is it the cutting out of fats or carbs? I am thinking that Tomato sandwiches on white bread is the choice for the weekend. Maybe even buy some real mayo. Pathetic, huh??

WOW!! Congrats on the early approval! I would have loved to have had my file sent in without my knowledge and get a call. That way I wasnt playing the "waiting" game like I am now. To be honest, I dont even know if they sent in my file. They were supposed to do it last week. Best of luck on your journey to the "new" you!!!! Keep us updated on your progress!!:thumbup:

Thanks. I know that I am lucky. I just hadn't prepared my poor brain for it yet. It was one of those "somewhere in the future" things. Thus I have been up since midnight with a Migraine reading and thinking. It was good for me. It has settled my heart on the decision. I do have to prep the kids a bit earlier than i expected. they knew it was a possibility, but my middle one is worried about it.

duh...i am in my own selfish world tonight...good thoughts to you and your paperwork. hope it all works out without issue!

      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.
