This is the big month everyone! Very exciting (and nerve wracking). Hope you are all doing well on your journeys. I would be happy to join a private FB or other group as well! -

July 9-21 Surgery Buddies?
FeatherHeather replied to checkmeowt's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm July 13th. ???? I start a 3 day clear liquid diet on July 10th...I have no idea how I'm going to get through that! 3 weeks feels like tomorrow and forever away. How is everyone dealing with family and friends? Mine are sort of supportive...they do keep saying things like, "are you sure you really need it?" And loooong angry sighs whenever it comes up - I don't even bring it up! It's stressful but I pretend it doesn't bother me. I just feel like sometimes I'm all alone in this, and others are waiting to say I told you so. Frustrating. Whatever they feel - I know this is what I need to do. And I hope they'll see the good once my weight starts to go down. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!! -

I'm July 13th! I am self pay so not too many hurdles to jump besides lots of doctor appointments and nutritionist visits. I'm trying to practice now - especially not drinking when I eat and 30 mins after. It's so hard!! Especially since most Protein sources are a bit savory. I find myself eating less so I can set my timer and drink Water again. Go Team July!! -
I'm watching it right now!

Hi! I was excited to find a twenties forum here. Just wanted to introduce myself - I'm 25, and my name is Heather. I just had my first consult with my surgeon today, and started an insurance required 6 month weight loss plan. I'm not sure if anyone else here is stuck in the limbo before surgery, but I'm here to chat if you want! Great to meet all of you Heather

Hey! I was looking at your pictures your comments are so funny! I do the same thing when I look at pics of me!! I HATE ppl taking pics of me. Its cool to have a place to put those pics and make fun of yourself now though! And hopefully get rid of them and replace them with good pics!

I just looked at your "thinspiration" pics...and you looked great! I bet you are excited to get there again! Good luck!

Dr. Robert Pinnar Reston, VA
FeatherHeather replied to pronetus's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I went to the free seminar with Dr. Pinnar on 4/6/09 - it was fantastic! The staff is very pleasant and I instantly felt at ease. They do have a program fee now for post op - $1500 is due 10 days before surgery, and then 1000 more in $100 installments each month. This pays for all the aftercare you receive for a year - they will not bill your insurance. Unlimited visits, fills, etc. Anyway, I am looking to see if I can sign up for the flex spending program with my health insurance, because they say you can use that to pay for the fee. Also, these expenses are tax deductible. I'd love to hear from anyone else and their experience with Dr. Pinnar. :sad:
