Hi Jodi, I have an idea for the medusa hair, you can use one of the caps that you get in those hair highlighting kits, and poke maybe fishing worms, (rubber of course), or fake toy snakes!! Not sure if it could work, but its an idea!!!

Happy Thursday all, So today I received my copy of "Becks Solutions" as well as the workbook I'm hoping I get time to start reading it this weekend, we shall see if time is on my side!!!

Hi gingerjane, I have Fed BC/BS here in Oregon, and my doctors office sent the information into the insurance company on a Tuesday, and by Saturday of the same week I had an approval letter from the Insurance company. They were very quick on the approval, and on the first attempt. There were no additional requirements from them which I was thankful for. I was worried that I would have to go through a four or six month supervised weight loss program. Good Luck and I hope you have the same results from your insurance company as I did!!!!

Happy Monday All, I purchased the book that was suggested by NYsparklegirl from amazon, they had the best price. I start my pre op diet on the 4th, but I was hoping to start sooner, but I'm not sure about the Protein Shakes either. Any suggestions??? I only have 5 tests to finish before the surgery which I will do on the 23 of this month. Well everyone have a wonderful Monday. Those of you on the East coast do try and stay warm. My sister lives in NY so I am going to call her later and see if she has snow yet. TTFN!!!!!!!

Hi NYsparklegirl, Hope you are having a great Sunday!! Thank you so much for starting this thread. I'm thankful to know that there are others going through the same thing I am. Please tell me where I can find the "Becks Solutions" you mentioned in your post. Thanks, Monica

Hi, March 12 can not come soon enough. Right now I'm trying to figure out how much time I should take off of wok. I have a very physical job, so i'm hoping that a couple of weeks will be good. I have a lot of time that I can use, but I hate being away from work. I'm curious how much time others have had off or are going to take off. Have a great day!!!!

Hi, First off I want to say that this has been a very informative site. I have been reading the posts and am thankful for the information that everyone has posted. I am scheduled for surgery on March 12, 2010. I atteded the seminar in November of 2009, Had my first visit with Dr. Fox on December 14th. I had to gather a lot medical information which was pretty easy. I had my psych consult, and had my sleep test done. I do have mild sleep apnea, but will not effect my surgery date. On Feb 23rd I will have the remaining test (ekg's, pulmonary etc.) March 4th I will meet with the nutritionist and begin my 10 day liquid diet....can't say i'm looking forward to it, but it will be just fine. I look forward to more posts from the March Bandsters.
