    Hello from WV

    Oh wow!!! I am sorry that you are fighting infection. That is holding you back from your fill. That would be hard. So you are eating solid foods then. I wasn't sure if we could have chicken. I love chicken. I am not a red meat eater so it won't bother me not to have that. My hardest thing for me giving up will be bread. I love bread.

    Hi RestlessMonkey, thanks for welcoming me. Once my husband and I decided this would be the best and most safe way to go I just can't get started soon enouph. I can't wait to be banded. I have to follow my insurance guildlines to be approved so I have to do a six month program. It will be the longest 6 months ever!! I am hoping though in that six months it gets me into a good frame of mind. I feel like I have been given a chance to live again.

    Yeah, I have heard that if you don't do the protien as directed you will have hair loss. I have thin hair as it is. I just want to get to the meeting. I am so excited. I am glad you started talking to me. I am making my husband go with me to the seminar. He is nervous about the whole thing. So now you eat about 1/4 cup size food and its still the soft food. The pre-diet doesn't sound to bad. I am sure it will go by quickly. I hope.

    :eek:Oh, thats aweful. The flu. You have had a rough start. So they definately once you start the six month program they want you to prove you can lose weight and exercise. Do you just have to keep track of what you do? I think I have 100% other than deductible. Not sure on the testing for the percentages. That is awesome that you have lost. Are you on solid foods yet? The whole making chicken into a shake is just grossing me out. I will have to find other ways of getting the protien I need.

    I go Saturday the 6th.:wink2: So that is pretty cool that they take care of everything for you as far as insurance goes. I was curious about how much out of pocket it is and how soon you need to come up with it? :thumbdown: It is so worth it though. I keep thinking about all the money I am going to save by not eating all the bad food.. Dr. Kaplan is doing the surgery. He did emergency gallbladder surgery on me a year ago and did a great job. Have you had any difficulties?

    Did you have blue cross blue shield insurance. They told me I was approved for the surgery as long as I pre certify. Does the Doctor Kaplan take care of the that?
