Candian Insurance

Nope.... I don't think anyone does/has. You're pretty much on your own with this.

Just think... if you eat $133.33 less in food a month, over 10 years, the band will have paid for itself!! LOL

You'll also likely live longer, from losing *any* weight, even if not all that you want to.

Smaller clothes are cheaper than plus-sizes (any one else agree?). But then again, once you can wear whatever you want, you could go nuts and buy more clothes than ever before!

Poor Dan!!! If he only knew!!!

First she brings him a cookie from TO as a pressie then she gets up in the middle of the night and eats his icecream!!!!

(ooops, did I say that out loud?)

*giggles*.....don't worry Mandi, we've likely all done it....if not icecream, somethin' else!! (chip dip for me!).

remember... it was actually a moncton cookie! I just told him it was from TO! LOL And, btw, the ice cream incident was before the cookie incident. I haven't comfortably eaten icecream SINCE my fill! (but I've tried, a couple times!)

I was hoping that at the very least Blue Cross would pay for my hospital stay. But they denied it all ($13,000). Fills are included in my provincial medical plan (or something like that) so they don't cost anything.

Welp I'm in Calgary. Right now AB health care is covering it. The Drs here are only doing 25 bands this year because it's their first year but Dr Mitchell said they are covered right now.

      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.
