    Soda Question

    We will see, I only have what they told me over the phone -- 3 months isn't too bad -- some people have 6 months. I am just glad we are blessed with great insurance.

    Soda Question

    Good suggestion - thanks. I remember when I had kidney stone issues in the hospital, they wouldn't give me any soda and the headaches sucked.

    Soda Question

    When I talked to them on the phone I don't have to do a 3 month supervised diet -- I had to have a bunch of forms filled out prior to my consult. They are only requiring a pysch eval, regular doc eval and 2 years showing my weight. You are the first Federal BCBS that had to have a 3 month supervised diet I have seen. I have my consult Thursday. I am group code 104 is that helps.

    Why Mexico?

    I see a lot of posts about surgery in Mexico. I realize it may be a cheaper option, but I really hope you consider your safety. An ICE agent was just ambushed there. Please be careful.

    Why Mexico?

    I think I am going to leave this board - there was no need to be nasty in that last message and no they weren't targeted because they were law enforcement - don't even throw that in there. You take that risk - have fun. There is a whole lot of nice people on this board, but I am allowed to have an opinion............

    Why Mexico?

    sorry you got held up at gun point, but that is not a true statement. Two ICE agents were driving and were ambused, one killed. That was a cartel. I am not trying to come off bitchy, I just happen to know a little bit about what is going on down there. Just want everyone to be safe, that is all.

    Why Mexico?

    I am sorry you can not compare the crime of the United States to Mexico. I work in the law enforcement field and the murder rates in Mexico border cities are through the roof. I would rather walk around in the worst part of Detroit before going to a border town. I would personally take a loan out then go to a border town.

    Dr Oldhamd @ Bluegrass Bariatric Group

    I am originally from the area and Georgetown in near Lexington. Also look at Doctors in Louisville -- Louisville is on the cutting edge of a lot of things when it comes to surgery. Hardin Memorial isn't a bad hospital - I had my gallbladder out there when I lived there.

    What is the best tasting PROTEIN shake???

    I am starting to try them before hand -- I was a big fan of Muscle Milk Choco --- its not actually Milk, but its pretty tasty and filling.

    Food Funeral Thread

    This is just merely for fun. I highly doubt I will go back to all the junk food. This is just to add a little humor to the board :-)

  19. I find myself really eating bad knowing that I will probably have surgery in 2 or 3 months. I can't get enough Chipotle and Buffalo Wild Wings and pancakes haha. Am I the only one doing this>

    Do you Find yourself Pigging Out Before the Liquid Prep

    I am trying to be good not overdoing it. My best friend laughed however at the extreme sour cream I had going on at Chipotle. I am looking forward to the journey ahead.

    Why Mexico?

    Great responses, I deal a lot with Mexico safety issues, just offering my concern. Cartels are violent and no they aren't looking for the Sleeve Surgery Cartel (bad humor) - its the cross fire and females being alone. My advice if you are a female, don't go alone. :-) Great tips too. My surgery will be done in Virginia. I just worry about everyone else :-) Its in my nature.
