  1. My addiction was diet Pepsi. The thing that I finally was able to kick it with was orange flavored stevia drink mix mixed with about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. It actually does taste good and I think it gave me that sweet-tart and crisp feeling that the soda did. Interestingly I read that back in the day they used to use apple cider vinegar to help alcoholics kick.
  2. Keep me posted, my fingers are crossed for you!
  3. I taking your advice, I called Anthem. They said: -request is still in nurse review -there is no notes from nurse (then commented that that was a good sign) -there was no records attached to my request. She said that May or may not mean anything, the nurse reviewing the case may not have attached but suggested I contact the office and let them know. I contacted the office, the re-faxed everything over. Hopefully, that wasn't needed. Still on pins and needles!
  4. I spent a few hours last night reviewing this topic and now have doubts and worries and all kinds of swirly thoughts and potential dread! The practice said they don't submit anything they think has a chance to be refused, I hope their right. Here is what I know, 6 month diet done, bmi 39, sleep test resulting in a positive diagnosis for sleep apnea, GP recommendation, psych eval - was all good enough for them to submit. The insurance is Anthem BCBS out of TN, seeing other's anthem experiences it seems a little all over the place, so I don't really know what to think. The insurance company said its under nurse review and they have 15 days to render a decision. If anyone has experience with Anthem in TN, I would love to hear! Thanks
