No one should have to go through all that. I have not heard of any doctor refusing to operate on someone with a BMI of 45, and I am sure some other folks here could back that up. I agree with Irish.. Go for a second opinion. You will find the right fit and be able to move forward. Good luck, and don't give up, you've worked too hard!

Now I Know It Was Worth It!
JerseyGirl68 replied to Donny's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
WOW! Great start. Glad you're feeling better. Good luck for continued success! -
Hi Colleen, I'm on my pre-op diet since Tuesday, granted I am not on full liquids like some... 3 shakes a day and one high protein/low fat/low carb meal a day. It has not been bad. I'm so ready for this. I do what I can to mix it up with the shakes so I dont' get bored and that helps. I can't speak to the surgery yet, but others can help out and post on that. Good luck!!

One Week Post-Op :d

Congratulations! -
Just Approved :d
JerseyGirl68 replied to caligirl92's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations!! It is such a feeling of relief to get the approval! I'm sure it will all work itself out. The insurance company making the determination of "medical necessity" should be the biggest hurdle I think and they already did that. Good luck!! -
Fantastic!! Congratulations and I hope everything continues to go nice and smooth!!

Good Luck!!

Got Sleeved On Monday
JerseyGirl68 replied to Strangefruit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so sorry you're having a tough time. I am still pre-op so cannot offer any practical information. Feel better soon. I am very sure you will get a bunch of feed back from sleevers that will offer some insight. Good luck . -
Wanting To Make My Own Protien Shakes
JerseyGirl68 replied to chum's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I did the same thing prior to starting my pre-op. I purchased the Magic bullet but found I like the Ninja better. I like the Pure Protein brand of powders best. Vanilla Creme and chocolate frosty. I have been adding PB2 to them prior to blending and they really taste great. Much less sweet than the pre made cans of the same brand. I also purchased some Torani sugar free syrups to try: pumpkin spice, Vanilla and Peppermint. Those I got on the Torani website. I'll let you know how they turn out. I use my ninja every morning, I usually have a canned shake a lunch. Search the recipe threads, I got a bunch of ideas from there. I agree with your comments on the unjury chicken broth. I love it! Good Luck!! -
