Yea I live in Huntsville AL and I was approved on yesterday surgery on jan 28

[vols fan 60]

Huntsville hospital Dr. Mailapur. My healing is great. No complications. My eating is still limited because meats and eggs make me throw up. I think that will get better I just need to wait a while and try them again.

As of this morning down 27# which I feel is pretty slow but I feel confident that I'm doing things right (except I could exercise more). So trying to be patient.

I get about 60-80 grams of Protein and 3 cups Water. Need more Water. Around 700 calories.

What about you?

Oh wow my doc is Mailapur I'm having surgery on jan 28 glad to hear you are doing well

Newbie from Alabama. I'm on day 5 of my pre op diet. Surgery scheduled Feb 15th Birmingham, Al. Really excited and a little nervous.

Very much a newbie. I have my first consultation on March 28. Had knee surgery in December. I'm hoping that I won't get denied, since I'm right at 40 BMI. The past 3 years I've been between 35 and 40 BMI. Co-morbidities are iffy.... pre-diabetic, on thyroid pills and cholesterol pills. My main complaint is my knees. I'd rather have half my stomach removed than to have knee replacement surgery. I live in Auburn, and will be seeing Dr. Wes Turtin. Anybody know him? I have BCBS of Alabama, administered through Auburn Univ. I may decide to check to see if I have sleep apnea, since I snore something awful.

I was checked for sleep apnea and it appears that I have it ...moderate to severe. One more check of my list of co-morbidities for BCBS. I actually can't wait until I get my CPap machine. I'm sure I'll feel a lot less tired during the day. Next... nutritionist appointment next Thursday.
