Recommended Posts

And I am scared I won't be able to figure out the last $1k. I have a week. Something will come to me. I am just praying really hard about it. It will happen.

Yes, and I can't wait to see exactly how it works out...it WILL be miraculous!

Amy's getting banded...Amy's getting banded!!!!

God comes through again!! LOL

alma, the patient care coordinator, got me set up on a payment plan for $1500 of the cost. This allows us to have some emergency money while we are there. It is through a company called DocPay, and it is intrest free. She said they usually need a lot of time to get it set up, but they are pushing it through priority.

I'M GETTING BANDED!!! OH MY GOD!!!

Amy - I'm brainstorming, here... Can you get counter checks (temporary) from your bank and then write someone a post-dated check? Can you get an advance on a credit card? Can you sell any stock you might have? Can you hock anything that you really don't need? Can you put up some quick auctions on E-bay? Delay your housenote/rent a few days? Have you husband mow 50 lawns (I guess that would be hard to do in one week...)? If you could get to Houston I'd pay you to do my laundry! Laundry is evil and I hate it...of course I don't know that my husband would be in on that idea!

Any more ideas to help out Amy, anyone?

Edited to add: I guess it's taken care of now! Yay!

I think I was going over all of these ideas myself. LOL Thankfully I don't have to do anyone's laundry. HA! And I think the band gives me a "get out of laundry free" card for a few weeks hehehe. Is it wrong for me to milk it a little bit?

Congrats on your upcoming banding Amy. I've paid really close attention to all your posts because I have a large apron too. I'm just going to have to deal with that at the end of my journey.

I think that it's great that you are getting banded first..and I think it's safer for you.

Do you have to do a pre op diet or are you going to just keep doing the Sacred Heart Diet?

Thank God the financial stuff is taken care of....and good luck with your surgery!

Drat, I guess I'll have to suck it up and do my own laundry. Sigh. I wish I had a get out of laundry free card. That's the first thing I'd do if I won the lottery - hire a "laundress" and full-time maid. I'd be a terrific lottery winner...

Momo the worst is when you actually take the laundry to a service and they bill you by the pound. Man you can get addicted to that quickly!!

Time2Live thanks for the well wishes and the thoughts on my surgery. I am going to stick to the sacred heart diet till we get to Mexico. Then I am going to have some fun with Mexican food and a few drinks. Lots of chips. some really spicy burritos. YUM!

I'm so happy you are getting the band sooner and have gotten everything straightened out. I think you are going to do some amazing things with the band. You have already done wonderful without it! Good luck with everything.

Starting the liquid diet today (monday) and we'll see how I do with it. I may or may not have the last supper. Depends on how angry the little telly in my head is with me. LOL You are such great support girl! You keep me going back to that #$(%^#(^# eliptical machine. HA! When are we hiting the outlet malls girl? We have to go shopping for next summer's bathing suits!!

I have 2 months of work to try and squeeze into two weeks of time, so I will not be around as much, but I will be checking into the GFG club regularly to update my score card and let you all know how nervous I am before getting banded. Pnut has my phone number, and I will be letting her know how the surgery went. Happy skinny hugs to all.

      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.
