Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

I have a surgery date of August 23rd, hopefully all will go well on the financing portion. The majority will be covered by insurance that will pay for the Hernia Repair and I have to take care of the lap band portion. True Results is supposed to let me finance that portion at $266.42 for two years, if not then I may have to delay until January and up my FSA. Fingers crossed!

It truly is, the weight has dominated too much of my life. I'm ready to move on to new things and not always have this wearing on me. Tired of the diet roller coaster, I've gone from my highest of 217 and managed to get myself down to 156 only to go back up to 195! All the while running at least 3-4 times per week. I finished two half marathons last year and gained weight while training for them! My problem is food and Portion Control, I need help getting a handle on it.

I truly believe this is my chance and I'm taking it, taking back my life!

In Sept I will have Health plus Medicare Advantage insurance. I found a surgeon that excepts it. Im going to a lap band seminar in Sept. Hoping I dont get denied. My insurance will pay 80% and I pay 20%. I also feel its my last chance. Has anyone else had this insurance?

All is set with my surgery and my portion will definitely be financed through True Results, now to start getting ready for my surgery date and following the pre-surgery diet to the letter. I want this to be a success story. :) I feel like August 23rd will be my second birthday, a new beginning!!

      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.
