I have BC/BS but after the first denial they gave me approval. I feel like they do that just to make sure you really want it.

Did you have to do your nutrition appointments all over again?

Thank you tiny! I'm going to be so disappointed if this doesn't work out. What the hell have these past 7 months been for?!

Called the Bariatric Nurse today and she said they denied me because I was never on some hunger supressant medication but it was never offered to me. She said that I was not required to even be on that medication (i forget the name). So she is about to call the insurance back now and then follow-up with me. Ugh.

Oh no... On the other hand many people here get denied the first time around. They probably didnt get the paperwork right or something was missing. Don't get discouraged and be persistent! Both of you :) keeping my fingers crossed!

Just got a call from the Bariatric Nurse and she got it approved!!!! Whoooooo! She had to call them verbally explain that I was not offered the prescription drug to surpress my hunger (which is why they denied me). She said as of right now my date is 9/16 which is the earliest date my surgeon has available!

They told me that when people get denied the 1st time around the surgeon or Bariatric Nurse can ususally just call and verbally explain any discrepancies and then they will authorize the procedure. So call your surgeon and see what's next. I FREAKED out (as you can tell)and it's only been one week and my office got it all worked out.

      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.
