Did BCBS contact you or did you hear from your doctor?

No not from my doctor; I I harassed BCBS customer service twice a day for a status! Lol! I would call once in the morning and once in the afternoon! :) I was too anxious to wait for my doctor to contact me.

LOL! I thought about calling today and talked myself out of it bc I wasn't sure if they'd tell me. I have BCBS Carefirst. I think I'll call tomorrow. :)

My paperwork was submitted on the 13th and I still haven't heard anything. My doctor told me it would take two weeks.

Is it common for most doctors to put you in a preop liquid diet? I’m currently on my preop and I can have food. Granted it’s not much but it’s still real food.
I'm on day 9 of my pre op diet, and I'm allowed food as well, very limited I'll say, but it's working out for me. 3 shakes a day, 1 serving of fruit, veggie and starch a day, until day before and Clear Liquids. I guess it all depends on your doctor on what kind of diet, if any, you'll be on.

I am allowed three meals a day, 120g of tofu and as many low starch veggies as I like. Or I can have a Protein Shake. I'm in ketosis I'm sure, so it still works

Just got a call and my surgery is pushed back from July 24th until August 14th. Ugh. Bummer

My surgeon is a LT. COLONEL in the military and has training right after the original surgery date and he needs to be able to see me while I would be in hospital. Frustrating. So guesss I will be a August sleever. Haha

That sucks but at least your surgeon cares enough to follow through and be there for you. He could have passed your follow care onto someone else.

      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.
