Make sure you have liquids/ foods like sugar free yogurt, I found 'cold' foods best after the lapband install. a cooler near the bed might be a good idea and lots of bottled water, you will be mobile by day two or three, take it easy on yourself.
I find seafood a safe choice, Key Wester is on Rt 59 and there is Heaven on Seven on Washington and great seafood at Catch 35 in downtown naperville by riverwalk. Enjoy!
My insurance is BC of CA as well; surgeon will be submitting request in May...any advice offered is appreciated. how many times does someone have to 'submit/appeal" if they have problems like hypertension? ortho pain?
