Most of us have been in your shoes! This forum is great because you meet people that are experiencing the same thing. Its ok to be scared, but don't let it deter your decision. Before you know it, your surgery will be over and off to recovery you go. Allow yourself to vent... we'll listen. You can do this [emoji4][emoji6] HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 226 GW: 165

Hang in there! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 226 GW: 165

Before you know it, it'll be over! Walk, walk and walk. Good luck HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 226 GW: 165

I had a copay. I completed the pre registration and paid my co payment the morning of surgery HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 226 GW: 165

I would suggest calling your surgeon. Hope you feel better soon. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Did the nutritionist give him a meal plan? After two weeks, I began the soft/pureed stage. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

I was the same way. I kept thinking I was going to forget my ID, insurance card or the money for my co-payment! I checked my bag everyday for a week. I woke up the morning of surgery and felt like I was ready to conquer the world and I did! [emoji41]. Congratulations and I'll see you on the other side. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Oh no... if they're paying, I want Premier! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

From what I was told, when you use a straw, you inhale too much air into your tummy and it creates gas....I think 🤔 HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Went back to work and really feeling good. Went to my first support group meeting and met someone who said they will assist me with getting my insurance company to hopefully cover my protein shakes! I'm excited HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Sorry to hear that... are you still on your liquid diet? If so, how are you feeling? HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Did you have your surgery yet? HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Don't worry... its the fluids from the IV. You will begin to lose those pounds in the next few days. Be sure to hydrate! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Glad everything went well. Get some rest and let the healing begin. Welcome to the other side [emoji4] HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Make sure you have your liquids for pre and post op... don't forget the sugar free popsicles! A friend have me a bottle of Biotene and I was so happy she did. After surgery you tend to have dry mouth and lips so pack some ChapStick! Breathe and relax. Before you know it, its over. Afterwards, walk, walk and walk even if you don't feel like it. You can thank me later! [emoji6][emoji23][emoji4] HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Yes! You did it...so proud of you! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

Hang in there and don't give up! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

When you go shopping, are you hungry? If so, make sure you eat before you go. Only take enough money for what's on your list. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 228 GW: 165

That's an awesome gesture [emoji4] HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Awesome. I returned to work today HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165
