  1. If you have to be cash pay now... they need to give you the cash pay price.... i havent heard of anyone paying more then 20,000 for surgery! I was self pay and i had a 1 night stay in the hospital and my total was $18,000.... 8,000 went to DR and 10,000 went to the hospital... they better work with you!!!

  5. I also was on a LOW calorie 7 day post op clear liquid diet... i was only allowed 59 calories a day... and i wasnt allowed unlimitied liquids... i had a diet to follow.... Only unlimited water... I also felt AWFUL!!!! I was sooooooooo weak!!! They let me move up to full liquids 1 day early... Im on my last day of FULL liquids... i have to say the FULL liquids were a little more filling... but i was still hungry all the time! Im hoping mushies are gonna be the thing that helps my hunger!!

  7. Is it ok to drink Naked Juice? They have a protein one... with 38 grams of protein??:confused2:
  8. Ya im pretty sure no other doctor will honor that... so your stuff with the DR! Why arent you happy with them?
  9. The one i had today wasn't chocolate... it was a few different fruit flavors... It said PROTIEN accross the front so it caught my eye... yes they arent low in calories... and the bottle is 2 servings... with 20 grams of protein a serving... they fill me up tho... im still on a liquid diet for a few more days so i need the calories! But they sure do taste ALOT better then a protein shake!!

    Lap-band port

    Im 6 days post op and i cant see where my port is... and its no where near my bra line... i hope it wont show once i lose weight ...
  19. I wanted to get my WLS done on my maternity leave... they only required i was 6 week out... my c-section was healing nice and fast! I lost all the weight i gained with the baby (30pnds) I was 100 pnds over weight prior to pregnancy and thats why they were ok with doing the WLS... I am not doing well on such little calories... my milk supply dried up completely!! Which i didnt expect to happen.... I am worried about going back to work next week... i feel very weak and sooooo grouchy!!
