Hi ValdostaGa,

I am sorry that you wee laid off. I pray that you will land in something good soon. I hope you have immediately applied for unemployment compensation. I know that likely is far less than you normally earn, but it is something.

Regarding the mileage reimbursement: Did you submit the expenses? If you have already accrued the expenses, they would still need to reimburse you.

Thanks! Yes I will get the reimbursment for some of july..but really was banking on July and August reimbursements to pay my oop expenses...I see why they say "Don't count your biddy before they hatch;) no matter what the outcome I gotta trust God!

I'm so sorry for your job loss. I hope that you are able to get something soon! I would contact my doc and insurance company to find out about the out of pocket expenses. I had a lot but did not have to pay any up front. I also set up payment arrangements so that they are managable. I know it's tough but stay on track and hope for the best!

Saying a prayer for you!

      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.
