If you have Federal Blue Cross Blue Sheild, you should be happy! I'm on my dads plan and he has the basic plan but they paid for my surgery 100%. The only thing I had to pay was a $200 copayment to my surgery and $175 for my copayment for the hospital. I orignally was going to do the band, but they don't cover implants and it would have cost me almost 3 grand. I'm so happy it was so cheap for me. I'm so excited for the future. I'm currently 1 week and 4 days post op, I've been on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and 4 days and I've lost 25lbs since I started my liquid diet. I'm so happy. I had such a horrible time trying to lose weight because of my knee and back pain made it almost impossible to exersice very much and I'm hoping once I get down under 200lbs, I hope the pain will fade since I assume it's my weight causing it since I've had test and x rays and all kinds of stuff and doctors can't find anything wrong with my knee or back. So fingers crossed!

I've been drinking all kinds of water with water enchancers to give them a different taste, I've even start drinking those 32oz of gatoraid but I can barely finish a 32oz of gatoraid a day, even though I feel like I'm drinking all the time. I'm so worried I'll have to go get IV fluilds because I'm already getting dehydrated. The worse I feel, the harder it is to even drink more. What do I do? Will get IV fluids help me drink more once I'm not dehydrated anymore?

I prefer lose it. I tried the other, but it just wasn't the same to me. So I just stick with lose it.

My stomach can't handle Protein shakes right now. The ones I love before surgery, make my gag and I can't get more than a sip down because it taste so horrible and it makes my stomach turn and hurt. Is this normal at first? I'm only 1 week and 4 days post op.

I have a iphone. I can't find a way to make it chime every 5 minutes. Does anyone know of any apps that could do the trick? I don't want to get sick from not drinking enough.

Federal BCBS is for federal workers. And it only took me 2 days to get approved!

I live in Arlington!
