Ok everyone it looks like the majority of people can get together on Sunday June 11 lets say 2:00 at the Pic on Route 9 in Worcester.

I received a letter from my insurance company yesterday and the said that the lap band was not covered under my insurance. But before I started this whole process I called them and asked them and they said yes why would they pay for all the visits to dr and phys. and nutritional appointments if it is not covered? I am so upset because I can not do this on my own the weight loss I have tried and failed the only thing is I hope that the doctors office Dr. Fiallo's office knows of a way around this. I do not know who to call the insurance company or the Dr's office.

Oh well I hope to see everyone at the Pic on June 11 at 2

Email me and let me know if you are a yes or no so I can at least get a head count

Melissa, Your surgeons office probably received the same letter. Start by calling the surgeon's office because his staff knows they need to call your insurance and find out exactly what requirements were not met and they'll meet them. If its due because of exculsions to your policy from the employer they'll let you know that.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
