hey thanks! Good luck with your fill! :confused:

I am from Maine and having the surgery at Souther Maine Medical Center. I weighed in at 270 with my dietician on the 10th of October. I started eating they way she told me to and I have lost 7 pounds in two weeks. I am affraid that if I lose too much weight my BMI and my weight won't be high enough to have the surgery approved by my insurance. Any suggestions?

So, I am understanding everything that the dietician told me. Alot of it is back to basics from weight watchers, portions, weight, ounces, excercise, etc... Then she told me about the "UNGY?" protein replacement something or another that I will have to get during my 2 week pre-op diet? what the heck is UNGY??????

Second Wednesday of each month, 7 to 8pm Fourth Wednesday of each month, 6:30 to 7:30pm

Thank you.

Good morning Bandsters! My first dietician meeting is tomorrow. I was wondering what I can expect to learn from this appointment and about how long is the first appointment? :thumbup:

Thanks, I think I've got it!

I see a lot of you have neat weight tickers and information signatures I was wondering if someone could help me do this?

I am confused about the difference between the Pre-Op diet and the liquid diet. Are they the same thing? If not, when do they start me on the Pre-op diet? I have my first meeting with the dietician next Tuesday. Is that when I start my Pre-Op Diet?

I got a call yesterday scheduling my first dietician appointment on 09/09/08. I got a call today to schedule my first consultation with the surgeon on 10/1/08. However, I also have to see a Pulmonary Doctor because I snore. They need to make sure I don't have sleep apnia, of course that doctor is booked until November :smile2: So, that is making my process longer. Has anyone else have to see a Pulmonary doctor? What happens.
