Hey Everyone! I was called this morning with both insurance approval and a date for lap-band surgery that is 2 weeks away! :smile2: It was very surprising that the clinic where I'm going just submitted the insurance information 5 days ago and today it was approved. This is moving very quickly and I have my second nutritionist appointment on Thursday this week. Mom has bought her ticket to come out and stay with me for the week after surgery so my husband can keep working ... One thing that will be different for me is the food allergies that I have. Mostly what many consider basics to their diet - wheat, soy, cow's milk - i cannot have these which prevent most of the supplements from being used for my liquid diet. I'll find out on Thursday about what they want me to do and how any days prior to surgery I need to have a liquid diet. There are 5-6 appointments I need to have before then - wow, crazy time ahead! I cannot wait!!! Kim

A few years ago I was eating out a few different times with a friend of mine who had had full gastric bypass and she just told the waiter that she had had WLS and they let her order the kids menu no issues. Thats what I had planned on doing, as I've never heard about having a card to present. Thanks for the tip!
