Deciding whether to schedule a date or not
BlueOctoberGirl replied to raven_magnolia's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I waited exactly 1 month to make sure that I was making the right decision. It made it easier to tell my family once they knew I did not jump into this life changing decision. I made my appointment in October with Nina and I am having my surgery one week from today. I am very nervous but know this is what I need to do. -
Hello all, I am 2 months from having my surgery and so confused on the Protein. I have seen those Protein Drink shots. Would they be good to help get the protein in? I have received some of the shake packets. I was shocked at how much powder is in one serving. I was wondering if there was anthing you all are using that I could just add to my Water. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I am having surgery with Dr. Aceves on Jan 5th. I paid $8775 for my sleeve. This included my pre-op tests (EKG, Xrays and blood work), 1 night in hotel, 3 nights in hospital, surgery and transporation to and from the airport. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Denise B.

I wish I was able to have surgery in ths US. I still find it extremly hard to believe that insurance will not cover this. I am excited and frustrated all wrapped into one! I hope we all stay in touch and track eachothers progress. I am hoping to lose 100 pounds! I am ready for the surgery and the work that comes with it!!! Denise B.

BlueOctoberGirl replied to MacMadame's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hi everyone, I just orded the starter pack at unjury. You get 2 samples of each flavor, a shaker and themometer. It is $17.95. If you boufgt the samples seperate it would have been $21.00. So It is a pretty good deal. I just thought I would share ) http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/unjury-protein/unjury-starter-pack.html -

January Sleevers
BlueOctoberGirl replied to BlueOctoberGirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi Kim, I already bought some of the unjury shake stuff and it is pretty good. The unflavored is wonderful. I am thinking I will be living on that and Crystal light mixed into my Water. I have browsing the other forums and started my list of things to take. Top things on my list are heating pad and Gas X strips! -
