Why not insurance approval prior?
Maddysgram replied to oklafarmgal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well it was my insurance company that made me jump through hoops. The insurance company lets you know if you qualify with your BMI and/or health issues and then final qualifying if you follow their testing. -
silly success again..

You could also add some diced ham to that omelet -

Gorton's makes an excellent Grilled Tilapia that cooks in the microwave in under 1min, I believe it was 11gr & 70 cal. I put some cocktail sauce and it is good. I get frozen shrimp in freezer section 30-35 shrimp for 16.00, it's expensive, but it will last awhile. Think I'd have to go with a cheese omelet for breakfast, don't think tuna would go down to well for me.lol 2 eggs take out 1 yoke add cheese and 15gr. right there -
Sorry you're not doing well, but it will pass . This is the "WTH did I do to myself" stage. Walk as much as possible, keep up with pain meds and sip sip sip . Congratulations Bandster!

waking up with water in the mouth
Maddysgram replied to Awkward customer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with Floridays and go with a slight unfill. If you are vomiting on a regular basis and food is getting stuck, you're too tight. If food is sticking in your Esophagus I would think that would make you slime. Keep us posted on what the Dr says! -

Mentioned the LapBand to my PCP for the first time today...
Maddysgram replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Here we can see surgeon without referral letter, but when all our paperwork gets sent to insurance for approval, there has to be a letter of approval from PCP included. At least that's how it worked out for me. -

Maddysgram replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Congratulations on passing the PCP hurdle! I had the same experience with my PCP. Like you said, he lit up and told me the same thing about having other patients that are doing well with it. Also said me dying from morbid obesity is a greater risk than having LBS. So you're on your way, enjoy the journey to better health! -
You are too sweet!

Do you like shrimp or fish great source of protein 3oz 18gr. Morningstar grillers 1 patty 14gr Solid White albacore tuna 2oz 15 gr Throw an egg with tuna and get another 9 gr. -
Not that you directed the questions to me, but thought I'd let you know that Protein shakes are good for hunger at this time. I got 3cc in an empty band.

All I can say about your blog is, ain't that the truth! I told my surgeon "I'm an expert on losing weight".lol I wish you great success on your LB journey!

What's Your Current Band And Fill Size?
Maddysgram replied to Banderina's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I didn't know for awhile. It wasn't really important to know. I finally asked one day, just b/c everyone else seem to want to know. -
Yes, very normal. My daughter kept saying "what is that noise"
-
Let us know what happens. Your protein is very important. Good Luck with fill!
-
Every Dr is different. I had 30 days of full liquids.
