Oh my gosh there is so much positive energy on the board today! nymy I know that you are on cloud nine crazy you are on cloud ten. My surgery is the day after hours with schmitt. Who is doing yours? Jason what made you choose realize? I thought about it but then I read somewhere that the new AP lapband had some of the same features that decreased erosion. What did the doc say? -

I am doing high protein low carb for two weeks and then the last week I am going to do a protein shake liquid diet. Losing ten pounds before surgery would be such a morale booster. Doing the preop will give me something to focus on for the next three weeks. Today is day one and so far so good. I may even start a blog when I get home. -

Hi ya'll, I did call bc bs today about my out of pocket expense. My outpatient out of pocket will be $75 an inpatient will be $100. I am covered at 100% for hospital and surgeon's costs. Pretty good huh?! I am sorry I did not meet you guys on Sat. I had on a black dress with a black and white scarf in my hair. Now that I think about it I believe that the psych eval is for those on certain medications. Do you all have any idea about the pre op doet? Since I gained weight during my 6 mos diet I am going on a self induced pre op starting tomorrow. -
So I guess thick and cheesy grits are out huh?

Thanks Wendy! You really made me feel better. I do need to check on the outpatient coverage. -
Hi I just read your post about being sleep all the time.I have been that way most of my life. Well, I did a sleep study and that particular study showed apnea while in REM sleep. I don't use a cpap. But I kept complaining about my excessive daytime sleepiness and was ordered a nap study. As a result I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia. I'm not narcoleptic, just excessive daytime sleepiness. I was prescribed provigil. Hope this helps.

OK so riddle me this: My ins. co. says that they pay 100% (physician and hospital) . However there is a $100 hospital copay for inpatient. Why did you have to pay a deposit up front. I have BCBS Peehip. Help! I don't want any surprises. Who should I talk to at the Dr. office to get an answer? Neiomi? wonk wonk...... -
Hey lady welcome to the forum! Your family definitely has my prayers and I wish you much success on your weight loss journey

Is anyone else starting to get a little Nervous?
aprilapple replied to debbieperez55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am sooo ready! I will see the nutritionist about 2 weeks before my surgery. I don't think my dr. does an extensive preop diet so I am gonna put myself on one starting this Tuesday (that gives 3 weeks before surgery). Here is my plan for my self induced pre op diet: Week 1: High Protein low carb (Atkins type); High Water intake Week 2: High Protein low carb ; " " " " Week 3: All liquid; high protein , low carb shakes I am soo open for suggestions on this! -

There was some talk at the meeting about psch evals. I have not been told that I need to do this. Should I be worried? Also, I saw on another thread where people were hit with surprise fees right before surgery. Has this happened to any of the patients here? -
Has anyone tried this site (www.weightview.com)? Here's how it works: upload your photo and how many pounds you want to lose. In 24 hours it will send you back a virtually altered photo . The results are really good. I'm gonna find a photo to upload and then I'll post the link to my results here.

How about this one: you LOSE weight until you clothes are LOOSE. Seriously, I think that sometimes people are typing quickly and making innocent errors. I did say sometimes.
