Good Luck...you will do great! Keep us posted....Lisa -
I did not have the 6 month diet. Perhaps you can tell your PCM that the requirements have changed and that you contacted Tricare directly. Maybe he/she will go ahead and refer you! Best of luck...Lisa

GOOD NEWS! Tricare approved my surgery.....on my pre-op diet.....surgery is a go for 8 July! Hope my experience is as easy as RoyalRags....! Lisa

I haven't been banded yet....two more weeks! I do know that you came to the right place!!! I hope your "cheating" isn't often. I am going into this with the thought that if I'm going to go through all of this....I don't want to cheat. I understand that there are ways around the band....but I don't want to know! I wish you all the luck.....and I'd be happy to be a buddy......Lisa

If I can do it, so can you!

Very Confused ... Please help
MsGal replied to Andrew0929's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One great point that my surgeon pointed out.....a lot of people regain the weight years after by stretching out the stomachs (sleeve and bypass) BUT the sleeve has a high rate of people keeping the weight off and can still make restrictions. -
Boston area....but originally from Biloxi, MS

Very Confused ... Please help
MsGal replied to Andrew0929's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
By chance are you going through Lahey? My Dr. said the same thing. Made me question my choice. I am in Billerica....I would love to have a local partner to go through this with. My surgery date is 8 July. Lisa -
AWESOME......so exciting! That's tomorrow! PLEASE keep us posted! Lisa

Body By Vi shake before surgery what about after?
MsGal replied to staceyhearn79's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just for additional info.... Unjury shakes average 21 grams protein New Direction averages 26-27 grams protein....they also have MANY different flavors and puddings (like lemon)...I am ordering a bunch of the products for after surgery as well. Flavored waters, capucinos.... all high in protein Thought this might help! -

Body By Vi shake before surgery what about after?
MsGal replied to staceyhearn79's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did the body by vi shakes last summer but didn't set well for me. I am now using unjury (order on line)...amazingly good! I have a few band friends that use Unjury...all successful and happy with the product. It IS designed for weight loss/bariatric surgery patients. My Dr uses the New Direction shakes for Pre-Op.....tried one....pretty good! Good luck... Lisa -
July is coming quick! How is your pre-op diet going? Nerves...? Let's stay connected! Lisa
