Nanna,

I spoke with Humana and I have $1000.00 out of pocket to pay. They are suppose to pay 90%. Have you done the six month supervision dieting with your physician? I am on my 4th month starting July 25th. I am suppose to call them back when I make my 5th month appointment to start testing. Where are you in this?

I will be going to Central Baptist Hospital. Bariatrics Associates with Lexington, KY. They are the same surgeons who do this at Georgetown. Did you say you have Humana?

i have not seen the doctor yet . an dont know what kind of diet they are going to put me on . BUT i was told humana put you on the diet to see if you can fall below the 35 bmi an if you go down to the 35 bmi they will not pay for it . How much weight you have lost .dont lose below 35 bmi or humana wont pay.

I don't have to worry about that. My BMI is 46. Have you spoken to the insurance company yet? Are you seeing a doctor at Kings Daughters?

      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.
