Thank you very much for your input.. That is why I am 'practicing' now..

Joanne Yes , of course you can add me as a friend! I don't know how to do this yet..thank you....Lori

My Doctor has faxed over the scripts & am waiting to hear from Insure to see what my Insurance says!!!Fingers crossed & prayers being said..

I am also waiting for my date.. I do know it will be in 3 months though. I am a fast eater , always have been. So what I do is have a 'egg' timer & take it with me, I leave my food in the kitchen, then go to the bdrm, get back online & when timer goes off, I go back to kitchen & take another bite. As for the drinking, that is very hard not to do! But what I do is put my water in the freezer, so that when it is time for me to drink something it is 'slushy' which i like very much.. hope this helps you..

cool... I dont know yet if my insurance is gonna pay for the stuff from Insure yet......would you mind very much getting the info, from your nutritionist, so IF I need to I can apply with them?

Is your insurance gonna pay for it?

BUT you do NOT have to get the scar cream.. I am just gonna use vitamin "E" oil on the scar.. I've done that my whole life & have NO scars

Angelkeeper, why did you withdraw your app?

Thank you for that i did not know that

I truly hope he does too.. Help him & educate him on what you can have & how you have to eat before & after the surgery.. My sister is my supporter, & she has kept me on track every step of the way.. (to be honest, I think she likes telling her older sis "NO! you cannot have that)..lol

Thank you Sunflowerchild

thank you for that. I have Cal-Optima, Talbert medical group..Hopefully I will be covered even if just for the vitamins, that would help me out tremendously!!

Hi! welcome, you are gonna love your new self, & I think your hubby will also. It is a life changing thing you are doing.. Go with it full force. The waiting is agony, I feel for you..

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much Ladies!!

All I am waiting on is my psych eval. I see her on the 22 of August...I sooo want to get this started..waiting 5 years for this.

BUT after the 2 weeks post surgery you could have coffee again?

How much weight are we suppose to lose before the surgery?

I have sleep apnea, been on c-pap for 5 yrs,. Had another study done a month ago & it seems I should have been on a Bi-Pap machine all this time.. They said it was a wonder I hadn't died in my sleep! On the new machine now, but having surgery in 3 months, after that shouldn't need it..

I applied 2 weeks ago, the fax for the scripts has been sent to me Doctor.. I am calling him back on Monday to make sure he wrote & faxed the scripts to them.. I am on SSI & Medi-Cal....Praying they will cover it..

Great question.. hopefully someone has an answer...

This looks delicious, BUT I thought NO carbonation? where do I find the recipe?

HI! I found a terriffic web site with awesome smoothie recipies for bariatric patients... Awhiskandtwowands.com/catagory/shakes-and smoothies/
