Hello all I got a call from my insurance company(UHC) that I am approved for VSG!!!! I can't believe after 2 mths of appointments and classes I was approved in 2 days!!!

The WLS cordinator told me that my surgery is schedueled for June 29th!!! I haven't confimed that with the clinic but that day works perfectly for me (everyone left early for the holiday weekend). I am so excited 2 more weeks of normal eating before I start my 2 weeks of liquid diet!!! I honestly can't wait to start that because then I know that the surgery date will come up fast.

WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!! :001_cool:

Congrats! I have UHC too but they say my plan doesn't include Obesity services, did yours include or did you have to bypass that somehow?

My company as part of the policy purchased a very comprehensive WLS rider. I know that UHC has more than one because some people have to complete the 6mth diet. I did not have to complete the 6 mth diet.

I really hope that other insurance companies come around and decide to cover VSG soon.

      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.
