I had my visit yesterday and I've lost 13 lbs 12 days past surgery which is nice.

My surgeon was thrilled but he said don't even think "fill" until 4-6 weeks post op.

But I have no time to Celebrate.< /p>

It seem like every time something good happens in our lives something bad has to come and F it up.

My wife got laid off. :o :o

We lost our insurance and I don't have insurance in what I do so we're pretty ****ed! :angry: :angry:

We're both pretty down. :( :(

My doc gives lifetime fills with his surgeries. I've never paid for one and I've been back 8 times. Check with him and see?

BTW-My wife was laid off a year ago but made lemonade from lemons and is now self employed and doing well. There's a silver lining hiding somewhere for her.

Thank you.

It runs out at the end of the month but her Cobra is totally cost prohibitive.

$2200.00 per month which is outrageous.

Good Job on the weight loss. You should call the dr and tell him about your situation. Maybe he will give you a fill. Good luck.

The Silver lining is you have had the surgery. You probably have some fills included. Check with your doctor and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the support. I'm not worried about fills with my surgeon.

We've paid enough that I believe we're good there.

It's other meds specially for my wife which are very expensive.

We'll do something I'm sure, it will get better.

      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.
