Hi Pteri, I think I remember you from one of support group meeting with the dietician, Megan. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Srinivasan. She explained the procedure thoroughly and answered all my questions. Also, right before surgery, while I was under anaesthesia, she explained the procedure to my mother. That made a big difference since my mother was not 100% supportive at first. My mother was so supportive after. Additionally, right after surgery she allowed my mother and daughter to visit me. I also had my first after surgery follow-up visit with her yesterday and again she listened and answered all my questions. She is excellent!! Also, she came highly recommended by my doctors that performed by EGD and my stress and echo tests. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I will be happy to help.

Hello All, I have surgery scheduled for next Monday, February 20, 2012. I am so excited! Today is my first day of liquid Protein shakes. I am starving!!! What did you do to help? Any help or advise is much appreciated.

Day 3 of Protein shakes. I am not as hungry. I had the Jello and it helped a lot. Thank you, thank you! ShoeLover and Sabrina140 please let's keep in contact so that we can share our experiences. I am still trying to learn the features of the site.

Thank you, thank you all for your kind advices and words of encouragement. I will definitely be getting the sugar free jello and alternating between water and shakes. This morning I could not stand it and had a little oatmeal. But I am back on track with the shakes and plenty of water.

Hello Everyone, I have been a long time lurker. I love this site. You all have helped me tremendously. What has your experience been with the decision process with Cigna (Open Access Plus)? How long does it take to get approval from the time of documentation submission? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Elphievsg, Wow!! I hope I have similar results with Cigna. I am ready for this new challenge of my life. New year, new health, new body!! I can't wait. 12 days before your surgery date. Excellent! I wish happy surgery, healing and weight loss.

Oopsseedaisy, Thank you!!
