How long for insurance approval?
LessOfMe0503 replied to LessOfMe0503's topic in Insurance & Financing
I would head back to work in about 7 weeks time... but the first week of that would be without kids. The doctors office knows that I'm hoping to do it in july/ early august. One of my friends had bypass on August 1 of last summer and she didn't miss any work. Have you had your surgery? -
Anybody using a Portion Plate?
LessOfMe0503 replied to abs6angels's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have not, but the psychiatrist shared something similar with me. -
One of the suggestions my psychiatrist gave me was to do arm curls during commercials, especially food ones. I don't watch a lot of tv but I think it's a great idea.

I sat on the fence about whether or not to do the surgery for a couple years. I finally did the seminar in the fall but didn't start the process til the spring. I'm a teacher so I was trying to time it so the surgery could be done in the summer but I'm not sure I got it all done in time. I can't imagine doing the pre-op diet and getting ready to back to school! -
Bite per minute? Seems impossible, any advice?

This is a concern of mine. I'm a teacher, and have learned to scarf down my food quickly so I can use the time to do other things. -
To tell or not to tell
LessOfMe0503 replied to Susan Gustavson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a bit of an open book. I've told many people. I've been honest about the choice and why I made the choice. I have shared my fears and anxieties as well. 90% of the people have been supportive, I ignore the others. -
I can't wait to cross my legs! A friend of mine who had bypass said that she likes crossing her legs because her excess skin slides down and all she sees is perfect thighs!

Yeah we are! I know people who have had to jump through hoops! When I went to the initial seminar, I was asked what my insurance was. When I said I was a state employee and BCBS, the lady was like- finally, an easy one! Fill this out! Teenahh... how long after approval did you have surgery? -

I'm going to join the party a little late! How did everything go? I just finished all my requirements so I am waiting for a surgery date! -
How many carbs are you eating per day?
LessOfMe0503 replied to kentx05's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't cook a lot during the school year but my nutritionist gave me lots of ideas for no/low carb goods. Meet and cheese roll ups are my fave! I take a string cheese and tear it into 3-4 sections. Then I wrap a piece of deli meat around it and eat. It's portable and easy! -
Hmmmm... it may not be the happy answer, bit maybe you will to spend more time on "medically supervised" diet. Then maybe you're history would show a more problematic BMI.
