awesome. I just bought them! the swiss chocolate one. haven't tried it yet.

i just researched that protein.. everyone raved about it the walmart reviews! i checked out the other nutritonal information.. looks good.. my paperwork says to limit the fat & sugar to 5g or less per serving. The fortress is 26g protein, 2g of fat & 2g of sugar for 1 scoop 52g protein, 4g of fat & 4.5g of sugar for 2 scoops .

great news!!! they did make a mistake. I do not have to wait 6 months! looking at May for surgery!!!!!

I think the information she had given me about the 6 months of exercise evaluation was wrong! i found this link online: http://www.anthem.com/medicalpolicies/anthem/va/policies/mp_pw_a053317.htm I have to meet $250 in deductables and could pay up to $2000 out of pocket. :/ I'm so excited and looking forward to this. I heard the Lean shakes from GNC are good http://tinyurl.com/6o39l6d .. and they recommded them at my dr's office. Also she gave me a sample of a clear Protein drink called Natures Best Isopure Zero Carb (has to be zero carb ones!!!) http://tinyurl.com/7vy5nd2 i haven't tried it yet.. but she said it was really good. I absolutely LOVE Peanut Butter.. what brand?! did you mix it with Water?

i think she made a mistake and printed out the wrong insurnace info for me!!! im prayin it is! I found this link online that says: Anthem Medical Policy http://www.anthem.com/medicalpolicies/anthem/va/policies/mp_pw_a053317.htm

Does anybody else have Blue Cross Anthem out of CT?? I was given a paper today at my consult about my insurance. On the top of the papers it read Highmark Medical Policy. the nutrition and exercise programs must total 6 visits or more during a period of six consecutive months is Highermark Medical Policy the same as Blue Cross Anthem? I know there are lot of different Blue Cross' out there. Thanks

sooo great news! i went to my first appointment today. Everything went great and Dr. Gerhart seems amazing. so looking forward to this. I'm going for my first appointment on Monday March 19 for a Gallbladder ultrasound. I am required to join a gym.. The local Wilkes Barre YMCA has a special $99 for 3 months for bariatric patients. At my appointment today the scheduler called both the Psychologist and the Dietician.. just waiting on both of them to call me back. I have to get the Gastroscopy (EGD) done on April 3. Routine bloodwwork a week before that. After that it should lead me back to my 6 week follow up with Dr. Gerhart. He said I could have it done by 8 weeks.. but of course there is a setback. my insurance company requires nutrition and exercise program must total 6 visits or more in 6 conseceutive months (( Sooo i guess i'm looking at a Sept surgery date. Does anybody else have Blue Cross Anthem out of CT?? the paper they printed out for me today at the office says Higher Mark Policy on the top of the paper.. it doesnt say Anthem anywhere on it.. could this be different?! I know there are many different parts of Blue Cross/Blue Shield. side note: I've been battleing strep throat since Sunday.. only good thing is i'm down 8lbs! on my way to my consult today.. dad goes.. sarah maybe you won't need this surgery now? trying to make light of the situation! thank god for supportive parents, family and friends!
