concerned about not being approved



Recommended Posts

I already have my surgery date of February 26th. The only testing I have left is the psych evaluation and venous duplex. My pre admission testing and teaching class is already scheduled! problem is I haven't lost any weight I lost 2 lbs and gained it back during the holidays. My BMI is 55 and I have back issues that make it hard for me to walk/ stand for too long without pain....my pain mgmt Dr was actually the one who referred me for the surgery.. I'm scared!

Did your doc give you a weight loss goal pre-op? Hopefully, given your situation, there shouldn't be a problem for your approval.

I'm also worried about this. My surgery day is set for 2/12 And I already did all the classes, 6 month diet, pysch, ugt....I completed all that was required. I started at 270 and am down to 254. I am just nervous because my BMI was on the border line. I've been killing myself for 6 months and will be heart broken if they don't approve me:(

Hi I'm in the same boat. I have two more weeks of class to complete my 6 month requirement but scared if I lose to much I won't qualify.

Im waiting on my approval also. I read about people getting denied over nicotine in there blood, I don't smoke but I live in a house where people do. I've read that nicotine can get into your blood from secondhand smoke and im scared I'll be denied over that? Does anyone have any advise or know if that's true? My doctor never mentioned any of this to me.

      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.
