Is there a reason why you can't have your surgery in Houston? Your friend isn't a real friend, by the way.

Yes, The reason is if I have it here in Houston I would have to pay $5000 up front with my insurance but Dr Hollis partner in Dallas is only charging me $1360 out of pocket. A lot of Hollis patients are making that drive to Dallas to save that money. I will do the surgery there but Hollis will be doing my follow up care, fills and everything else. about the friend...yes I know and I have not heard from her since. Not to say did you find someone else or nothing. I have to shake my head at that and keep it moving. I dont need anyone like that in my circle.

I agree I'm glad that she revealed herself early she probably would not have been very supportive. Close that door and move on.

Yes, that would of been bad. On top of that she hadn't call to find out if I found someone. Lol but I have and I'm moving forward.

That's awesome! How was it? When did you get to meet him for the first time? Did you go through True Results? My insurance approved me on Monday' date=' but I don't know how long it will take for TR to get it and schedule the surgery. How long was that process for you? I was hoping to have it done next Friday - the 17th...is that realistic???

I'm glad we have connected - with our surgeries so close together, we can be great support for each other!

Oh wow! I'm going to find out what my out of pocket will be before agreeing to it. I think it will be worth waiting a couple of weeks and traveling to Dallas to save money. Who were you originally going to have it done by in Houston? What is Dr. Hollis' contact information?

      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.
