I to like cottage cheese. Regular cottage cheese has too much sodium but the 1 percent only has about 400 mg per serving. I tried the non fat and it was horrible. It was from Wal Mart maybe that was part of the problem. I agree that it tastes great alone or with tomoatoes, fruit anything. You should really try it.

This time for sure, I call Blue Cross and they told me that my application was in the system I asked the lady what that meant and she said that your surgery is approved and you will recieve your letter in a couple of days. I called my patient advocate and she told me that the 22nd of July was still a good date and I can count on it. I hope that this time it is really true. I am so tired of waiting and waiting for insurance to finally pay for my procedure. I can't wait to get it over, lose weight and improve my life drastically.
I can't wait to start my journey with you all.

Call the hospital and find out what time they put you on the schedule. What a rotten deal for them not to call you back. I think medical people are becoming so bad about practicing patient care. It is long gone

My insurance carrier told me today that they sent out the letter to my surgeons office yesterday. My doctors office lied to me when they told me that they checked today and still didn't know about my acceptance. But the doctors office needs to know that Blue Cross keeps tract of every phone call concerning any members records. I just hope that my doctors offices nasty lying process doen't screw up my surgery date.
Good news I got called from my doctors office yesterday. I am approved and they have scheduled me for the 24th of July for surgery, my pre op nut class will be next Monday! My wishes have finally came true and than you all for the support.

Heres an update. I called Blue Cross yesterday they told me that my surgery was approved and was in the system. I should be recieving the letter in a few days. I called my doctors office and they have me scheduled for the 22nd of July. I will start my 10 day preop diet next week. I am so excited and ready for this. I want to lose weight so bad and get back in shape so I can enjoy my retirement. Wish me luck

I have been tentatively scheduled for 22 July pending approval of my appeal. I am getting really freaked out about how long it is going to take to get the approval back. Accoring to my doc. he was told to get just a few things fixed on my paperwork and it would fly through I really hope that they will get me in. Cross your fingers for me ok?

I couldn't wait to find out by snail mail. I called BCBS since Friday and they told me that as soon as they got word that the docs were approved they could let me know without the paperwork. I should recieve the letter in a couple of days but for what its worth, it going to happen YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My surgeon spoke with BCBS and specifically the official that denied my surgery because my stupid PCP completely screwed up my letter. After Dr. Le spoke with them, they told Dr Le what to change on my paperwork and told them to send it to the original reviewer directly. He said that there will be an approval forthcoming. Yeah (I hope)

I have a Nutri Bullet and I love it. I use it every day. It has two smaller cups that can be used also to puree foods and they have lids that screw on so it will travel well and not spill. Just another idea.
