I think you should send in those weights you found with a appeal letter. people on here may have some samples. If not the insurance commissioner for your state can help. Jennifer

Amanda are you on all liquid?

i purchased isopure dutch chocolate powder from Gnc and add 2 packets of splenda with it. yummmm its pretty good and 50 grams of protein.

first off try being friendly!!! Geez if you cant say anything nice zip it!

With a bmi of 39 , your insurance, will require (most likely ) a co-morbitidy or 2 . Check with your insurance, or bump yourself to 40 bmi.

ok so i went to a pre-op appt with a cardiologist. ( Just a background...my heart is super healthy and so is my Ekg). He said i looked really healthy then said ok stress test for you. My surgeon does not require a stress test, im a little annoyed i need to do one . Has anyone done one and can you elaborate? Jennifer

i got Isopure dutch chocolate protein mix at GNC . its kinda yummy. i add a splenda packet and water to it. 30 gms of protein. Jennifer
