Yay! :angry: Not really. I had to go the my PCP yesterday for a head cold/sinus infection/the flu, and just let him know that I have this knot on my upper thigh. So what does he do? Set me up for surgery tomorrow morning. I'm sure it is just a fat tumor that needs to come out but it has been hurting lately so I guess but do it now. But really???? Three surgeries in less than a year... I bet my insurance is loving me right now.lol

Three surgeries in less than a year...

hi julie

three surgeries in one year. What a bummer. Really sorry. I'm sure if your PHP wants to do this surgery right now, its better to get it behind you,wish you didn't have to go through yet one more ordeal - hopefully this will be it - and your health will continue to blossom.

As far as the insurance company "loving" you - my goodness we pay enough in premiums .....

now on to bigger and more important things - WOW you've lost 86 lbs. :) how terrific it that.

WooHoo

Good luck on surgery

Thank you. I know I have paid a lot of money and never used it until this year. I will be glad to get rid of this thing on my leg. It sure isn't pretty and more people are asking about it since I feel more comfortable wearing shorter shorts. :rolleyes:

      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.
