  7. BLAH! I received a letter from my insurance company. They require more proof of what I have tried to loose weight. A part of me feels like this is a hit to get me down, and a part of me feels like I need to fight for this. I have to prove to them..... Wouldn't you want me to be healthier by doing the surgery and losing the weight? Jeeeeezzzzz! Has anyone else had to go thru this? Anything to keep me positive to get to my surgery (5/14) would be helpful!
  8. CONGRATS! Way to go! Thank you for sharing
  9. I being banded 5/14 the day before yours. I actually had a date last Sept and started my pre op diet. Day 3 of pre op diet I went for pre surgical testing and found out I was 14 weeks pregnant. OMG! So, I delivered 6 weeks ago and now I am ready to shed the extra weight. Thankfully, I gained 25 lbs with my pregnancy and have lost all of it!

    'Twas the Night Before Surgery.....

    I hope that I am as positive as you are in my coming weeks ahead. I too have all the same concerns you did, like "Will I wake up from surgery"? I need to see my babies too - that too is heavy on my mind. AND YES! I am stalking your page, maybe I wont have too many questions since you blogged a lot while I was baking lil Miss Olivia.
  11. Grrrr! ROAD BLOCK! Received letter from my insurance company today, they want more information on how I tried to loose weight! Really? Why do they make this so difficult?

      I actually did speak with the Dr's office, they said they sent it all in, but have no worries, they will handle it for me :) What a relief!!!

      I am having it done by Dr Geiss in Syosset Hospital. What doctor are you using Susan?

       

  15. well.... for now my journey is on hold. I was so close to getting banded, PST told me I am preggers :) Congrats to my newly banded friends!

  16. Pre-OP Day 1 - not too bad. A bit of a slight headache this afternoon. I feel like I've been eating ALL DAY - of course shakes, pudding and soup only. Just had 2 cups of veggies, next up MORE SOUP!

  17. Pre-Op start tomorrow - I am scared, nervous and confused ALL at the same time :(

  18. Am I normal? I am having my favorites and saying bye-bye to all of them? Did anyone else do this prior to starting pre-op?

  19. WONDERFUL! Keep it up :)

  20. Does anyone know if any of the PROGRESSO LIGHT soups are acceptable for the 2 week pre-op. I have a call into the nutrionist, but I am dying to know!! PLEASE ANYONE?
  21. does anyone know if the PROGRESSO LIGHT soups (any of them) are acceptable for the pre-op diet? Still waiting fot the nutrionist to call me back :(

  22. Best of Luck! I will be banded 9/30! I cant wait, nervous and excited all at the same time.
  23. I wish these shakes tasted like a big bowl of pasta and meatballs.... I guess I should think about that when drinking it, shouldn't I?

  24. Its OFFICIAL!! The date is set! September 30th! I am super duper stoked!

    PCOS getting better?

    The exact reason why I joined this group. Recently diagnosed with PCOS after months and months of no period. Still my OBGYN is tinkering with different meds - I am ready to tell her to quit it! Ive had enough, hoping to get a surgery date in the next week as all of my pre-testing is finally over with. Never though I would be saying this - but I cant wait to have a period again.
