Day 5 of liquid diet- surgery in 1.5 days.... 9am on Wednesday. Today driving to get my EKG and I see a bag of chips on the ground... for a split second I was outraged someone would waste them... then laughed. This liquid diet got me feeling like food had feelings- ha!

I am currently employed and my employer excludes bariatric surgery on their insurance policies. I have been through appeals for the last year and am finally just ready to go out and purchase a healthcare plan outside of my employer and pay the extreme out of pocket cost for the premium to have this medically necessary surgery... My question is there ia the bronze, silver and gold etc Blue shield plans but all say they "cover" bariatric- How much did you guys actually pay out of pocket for the surgery, hospital stay etc? I am just trying to plan ahead- if I have to pay the premium and a deductible I want to be prepared. I am currently employed and my employer excludes bariatric surgery on their insurance policies.

Drink/eat simultaneously? Question...
shaeluv replied to bigfatgoodbye's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
There is an app called eat slower that helps remind you to take longer to chew and to take time between bites. I have been practicing that -
Congrats on your loss- I haven't started yet, however, I had fought the fight with undies due to size and the best ones I have found are Fruit of the Loom Women's Plus-Size Non-Binding Brief PantiesI buy them on amazon $10 for a pack of 3. I like them because they are breathable, comfortable and they don't roll down or up. Hope this helps!

Barium Swallow test...What should I expect?
shaeluv replied to flipper72's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The best way to describe how it taste is liquid chalk with a light hint of metal! With a strawberry scent! Not great tasting but painless and over very quickly!
