    Tomorrow! July 2 - Who's with me?

    I'm with you. My surgery is at 10:30am MST tomorrow. I only had to do a 3 day pre-op clear liquid only diet. Somehow I dropped 10lbs as of this morning. Taking the kiddos to Grandma's after work. Then back home to pack and try and sleep. Good Luck!

    United Healthcare - Just Beginning

    I have UHC as well. I had my 6 month doctor supervised weight loss, 5 year weight history, and psych eval. I was approved with no problems.

    Pre Op diet

    Its been good. It was definitely worse the first day, but i haven't felt a extreme drop. I think the anticipation and excitement for surgery tomorrow is helping with that.

    Pre Op diet

    I'm on day 3 of a 3 day pre-op clear liquid diet. I have barely been able to get over 200 calories in a day. I've been surviving on Isopure Carb zero, broth, SF jello, SF popsicles, crystal light, and Vitamin water Zero. Surprisingly I don't feel that bad.
  8. Finally got my approval call this morning. I had my paperwork submitted two weeks ago. Had hoped I had all my ducks in a row and happily it turns out I did. Surgery is scheduled for July 2nd. Now I can stop worrying about approval and start worrying about the surgery.

    Approved! Surgery on July 2nd

    For my insurance it was just going to see my primary doctor every month for six months a follow some sort of plan to lose weight. For my insurance, United healthcare, there was not a required amount of weight to lose. I only lost a few pounds and was still approved.

    What blender do you use?

    I have been shopping for a blender. The Vitamix and Blendtec blenders were way too pricey for me. I think I'm gonna go with the Ninja, Costco and Sam's Club have a pretty nice set for about $135-150

    I was approved!

    Substance Abuse After Surgery?

    I've read that it happens with some people, drugs, alcohol, sex, cigarettes. I think it is called "addiction transfer", since you can't over eat any more you switch to something else.

    Home today after Surgery.

    Wow, that's impressive. I have about a week till my surgery. I hope my recover goes as well as yours.
  16. I was lucky enough to have a 10 day business trip about a month prior to my upcoming surgery. It was nice to be able to eat out to places I wouldn't normally got to with the wife and kids, and have my employer foot the bill. I haven't really felt like I needed a food funeral after I got back home.

    July sleevers?

    I'm schedule to be sleeved on July 2nd, but my surgeon only requires a 3 day pre-op diet. I'm thinking of starting a little earlier though. Maybe Wednesday this week.

    Anyone with BMI 55+?

    I am at 53.1, Male 5'10" 370, and I'm scheduled for surgery on July 2nd. Its interesting to read people's experiences with similar BMIs.

    Favorite broths

    I'm staring my pre-op diet in about 10 days. I'm planning out starting with Pho broth and probably Won Ton broth as well.
