HYVEE NNW

It is awesome they have 6 flavors I have tried 4 haven't tried plain vanilla or chocolate. Why Colorado and not Malley?

Are you from the KS or Mo side.

good luck with your journey I know no matter where you have yours done Malleys support group is open to everyone .

I'll have to try the Hy-Vee shakes! I'm going to Denver primarily bcuz it's WAAAY cheaper, and I was 1 phone call away from Mexico. I've heard only good things abt Dr. Weaver, and his promotional price is $8450!

Last Supper?? More like last supperS!!! I have had all of my favorites!! Lasagna is in the over right now and tomorrow my favorite Japanese steak house. Tuesday will hit me like a ton of bricks, but I am so ready. I know it will be tough, but I am ready to pay the price to get my life back!!!

Japanese steakhouse? YUMM! My fav too!

Self pay?

I guess I am very lucky to have insurance that paid for it.

I'm a self pay too. My insurance won't pay for any part of any weight loss treatment. If I live to be 200 years old I will never understand that. They had no problem paying for my 4surgery knee surgeries including both a full and partial replacements and 5 hyalagan shots at $3520.00 APIECE!!!! Do the math.....those shots were more than Lapband surgery. Simply unbelievable, huh?

March 1 surgery date and started my pre - op diet on the 16th

4 Protein shakes a day not to bad so far.

It is a wonderful birthday present to myself on March 9.

I am also fortunate to have a wonderful support system at home ( my awesome wife)

kcdaddy3, I am also seeing Dr. Malley. My surgery is scheduled for 3/8 which is going to be an awesome birthday present to myself as well as my birhthday is 3/9. I start my liquid diet on Thursday and have my pre-op on Friday. I am a little nervous about the liquid diet though.

March is getting closer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe

[Kmom2 12]

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Im sure it will be quite an adjustment but I know I can do it. My big fear is AFTER SURGERY. I grow more and more worried about vomiting and band slippage. I guess as long as I follow my directions I will be okay. Just a big worry for me right now.

I do have a question for anyone who has added pudding mix to their Protein shakes.......how much mix do you add? The entire package or just until it tastes good to you?

Pre op diet isn't too bad

Nothing to worry about

Nothing to be scared of on the liquid diet.< /p>

I worried about it and it really isn't too bad.

are you going to go to the support group at Malleys?

I start mine on Wednesday!!! I have 1 more last supper day left. I am glad that there are others going through the same thing. I would probably be a wreck if I didn't have you guys on here!!! Good luck to all of us on our journeys!!!

Day 6 of my pre-op diet, and omg do I miss my carbs! I guess I shouldn't complain much, cuz I've lost 4 lbs already, and I know many of u are required a liquid diet. March 1st is approaching quickly and thay's what' keeping me on track. I keep thinking, "If I don't shrink my liver, they may cut me open and decide not to do the surgery." After driving 9 hrs? HELL to the NO!!! Hope everyone is well!
