    A big Texas Howdy to you!!

    I'm from Katy, Tx I start my preop diet on July 5th and scheduled for surgery on July 14th by Dr Waggoner in Cypress. Excited and nervous.
  8. My husband is retired and we have tricare in the south region. I had to appeal also in order to get approved. Once I sent in my letter that included my comorbities I was approved right away. My surg is July 14th. Good luck to those still trying to get approved.

    Any July Bandsters??

    Has anyone started to reduce there caloric intake prior to the preop diet. I've been trying some of the Protein shakes, found some chewable caclium tablets, chewable Vitamins and statred to use them. Just trying to get ready. Anybody else? My sister told me that I shouldn't lose to much weight prior to surgery BMI 40.1 b/c they may thing I can do it on my own. What do you think? My Doc has not required me to lose weight preop.
  12. I worked around the house today. Had to go to Walmart three times. Hanging some blinds in the family room. Air Conditioner went out upstairs so this TX heat is really being felt. Repairman coming tomorrow and not a day too so. Surgery date July 14th which is 5 days before my daughters 9th birthday, so I'm feeling a little guilty about having my surgery so close to her birthday, I'm not sure how I will feel or be up to having her a party. So that's my thought for today..

    Liquid Diet!

    Has anyone tried the Nectar brand, it's just like Isopure but has a sweet taste. I mix it with water and it eas great. Found it at Vitamin Shoppee and it was cheaper than the Isopure powder.

    Congrats to those that have been approved. I just check Tricare website and it has a BIG FAT "D" on it DENIED. I have a BMI of 40 with some other health issues. I has a sleep study last Friday and still waiting on the results. I'm not sure well I eas denied. My Doc office is filing all the paperwork. I have an appt with the nut on Thursday, wondering if I should keep it?
  19. I went to my consult Thursday, April22, Sleep study,April 23, nut appt schedule for April 29 and it shows need more info. with a ? mark on Tricare. Hope to be on the loser bench soon.
  20. I saw on the request for approval that the doc sent to my insurance that the wanted to do the surgery in May but due to work I want be able to get it done till July.

    Congrats on your date.

    My hubby said we could self pay but I feel quilty to do that since we just bought a house and have expenses with that.

    Do you have to see the nut and psy?

  21. Well, I saw my surgeon and it went well. My insurance will only cover the Lap Band or bypass. The insurance verifier said she will call them to may sure the have not approved the sleeve. Otherwise, I recieved a list of all the preop stuff I need to do and the I will she him again.

    How did it go for you?
