$25000 Surgery Cost, what did you pay?
Beach Lover replied to NewYear'sSleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having my surgery on Friday June 7th with Dr. Shillingford in Boca Raton and it is all inclusive Labs, EKG, Anesthesiologist,hospital stay for 2.5 days etc. the total cost is $10,500. I did all the checking that is possible on my surgeon and he came out clean as a whiste. I was very impressed with him and his office staff. When I asked why so cheap the answer was simple. He wants people to get help and if insurance won't pay he can make it possible with lower fees. -
Pre-op jitters. Suggestions?
Beach Lover replied to miangr's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I agree Premier is the best tasting and provides more grams of protein than any I have seen. You can get them in vanilla and chocolate at Sam's, costco and I recently found out they can be found at Walgreens but you will pay more for it there. -
Feeling Guilty...I took "the easy way out"
Beach Lover replied to gmanbat's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Spoken with truth and experience!! I haven't told anyone because of the very thing you are saying. I don't want to have to answer any questions etc. But if I do I will remember your post! -
I did the exact same thing in fact I called it my restaurant bucket list!! Some will advise against it but in order for me to move forward I had to say goodbye to my old life to move forward to my new one. I want this change of life with a very clear outlook to what the change entails. I am now on day 10 of the 2 week liquid diet and I KNOW it was the best thing I could have done for the mental process of this change. Good luck on your journey!!

Does anyone feel like they are the "fatest" one in your family?
Beach Lover replied to memk's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Most definitely yes!!! The worst part is I have a daughter that is 22 years old and a size 0!!! How the heck did I give birth to a size 0 child and why the heck couldn't I be thinner. I don't have to be a 0 but just to have a thinner body would have been nice. lol -
Had popcorn on my preop liquid diet!
Beach Lover replied to sassygirl055's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am laughing right now because I told my daughter today I was really wanting to go to the movies today and eat popcorn!! I am on day 9 of a 2 week liquid diet and it's not the easiest thing to do and I admit to chewing some fritos and spitting them out!! It tasted so good and I know it was disgusting but it did the trick to kill the craving! I know I can't be alone in this dirty little secret! LOL -
