Picked up a sample at whole foods this weeken and thought is share. Had for lunch today with almond milk and yum!

What do you mean by how we throw up? Haven't been sleeved yet and I detest throwing up now and praying I won't after. I can deal with nausea not throwing up

Am a month out and nervous as heck

Maybe I read this differently than everyone else I don't think what she said was so horrendously bad. Yes she's coming from a place where she thinks that this is a cure and it isn't But she's also coming from a place where she has suffered an eating disorder and is happy where she is today. She considers your decision a validation of the wasting disorder. Misplaced yes many of her rants are on her blog But can I say that you are both losing a friend or choosing to end friendship for valid reasons. Both of you for health reasons. Yours physical hers for mental and emotional reasons. It's ok to have a friendship end. It's sad and I am so sorry it has happened but it is what it is. She likes being a large woman and it seems like she has worked hard to get herself into the mental place she is at. We shouldn't hate or judge her either

June 24 in north jersey 2 week pre op diet of 2 shakes and liquids and one lean meal a day I am easing into that by starting now with leaner meals then replacing lunch with a shake then ease further and further. The anxiety is heaviest when I am home and not working like today. When I am working I can manage to distract myself

That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. You should've asked for that in writing and appealed it

I wouldn't panic I'd ask lots of questions of your insurance. Ie how much deductible you've met, maximum out of pocket etc. Get educated on the financials and you'll be fine

I am sorry to hear this. Is there another center in a bordering state ? If not you might want to have a conversation with Cigna to see if they have options for you such as a hospital local to you that may be affiliated with the other facility Good luck

Nancy I think you're wonderful. I think you're a tough lady and will be just fine and a much healthier you. I hope you boyfriend appreciates and loves you for trying to be a healthier version of you so you can have many more years together. Good luck and I hope you return with progress updates!

They make those little snack packs and they have a little bite about 1 inch square. Have those

My doc has already given me the liquid Tylenol 3 in preparation. Can you get that?

Am in Bergen county and doing it at the valley hospitalOrigin surgeon was dr Schrope but she's not pat with my plan. So now dr bessler They also operate at NY PResby/Columbia

I let the nerves begin !

I have Cigna and took longer than it should have since the insurance administrator submitted before having everything she needed together

Did you get a receipt? I'd call hospital immediately. Or did you pay the doctor? If so he isn't going to give the hospital ant money

That's exactly what I started doing. Modified the diet now to prepare. It's been an ok two days

Good luck. Positive thoughts headed your way

You should have this back by now. Hope you got approved!

Most insurances are through an employer policy Many employer based policies are self - funded and under the ERISA laws are able to cover and not cover whatever they want The insurance offers a cafeteria style plan or Buffett if you prefer, and employer picks the meal he wants to buy. He choose not to purchase wls He could also choose not to cover chiros or acupuncture if they so choose Ppaca/obamacare plans are required to offer a complement of minimal coverage. You can always purchase one, confirm it covers wls, and use it as your secondary plan to pick up the costs.

You should call them or go online to determine who the approved surgeons are. They have a list and then you can just call each kne to see who has availability

Got my date June 24!

360-Count Biotin Hair-Growth supplements http://gr.pn/1jyO03s 360 count for $17.99 Limit 3 per person and 2 additional as gifts

I read on another site someone had to be re sleeved as their stomach was left larger than a banana size And a 3rd site where the pouch was stretched I didn't think this was a good idea

That's exactly what I liked about him too I originally wanted a lap band and saw Schrope. She recommended sleeve due to complications and such Then I found out she was out of network for my plan. And the office put me with bessler. He was very straightforward and to the point and why didn't I want rny. He was also against the lap band unless I felt completely certain that was what I wanted. So sleeping it is with bessler. Now if they'd ever give me a date .......;

That looks like a great scar
