PrettyThick1 1,860 Posted June 4, 2013 I've just returned from my pre-op appointment and it went very well! I'm starting my pre-op diet tomorrow (2 Protein shakes and 1 quality meal a day + water) and now that I know I get to have one meal a day I feel much better about my chances of not screwing it up. If anyone is getting banded by Dr. Christopher Reilly in Houston, beware: he is way hotter in person and if you look directly into his eyes you'll be hooked for life. He's very funny and I feel very comfortable with him performing my procedure. If anyone was wondering, my insurance covers the procedure 80/20 - my out of pocket expense is $1,400.00, plus $215.00 for the surgeon's fee. Not bad...not bad at all! Have a great day guys...I'm finally on my REAL count down! 1 cat whisperer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
