Calling all Northern Alberta LB's-I have an idea!



Recommended Posts

I’ve found a wrinkle in the LB journey. Do any of the Dr.’s in Alberta work on Saturdays? I can’t see my work being ok with me taking a day off every few months to drive to Calgary w/out some sort of reasonable excuse. Here’s what I’m thinking…let me know if any of you would like to explore this possibility.

Once a month/2nd month, we (people who need an adjustment that month or whatever) get together early on a Saturday and go to see the Dr. for a group adjustment. I think if there are a group of people that go together it may be possible to talk the Dr. into seeing us as a group after regular business hours. He could get a bunch of adjustments done and make even more $ than seeing us at different times and not to mention the freed up time both sides would have. The trip would also be good for people who just need a slight adjustment and wait a while due to prior commitments and family obligations.

I can see three organized groups, Northern AB, Central AB and Southern AB. The Northern AB could meet up with the Central AB’s and go together. Southern AB could round up the gang and meet us there. I have a van so I’d volunteer the transportation. Let me know if this is something that may work for you or if you have any concerns.

I’ll present the proposal to the Dr. once I’ve hear from the AB grew. Power to the people!

That's a really good idea... I bet they would go for it if you did that. Really, it's maybe a couple hours work at the most, for several hundred dollars! (which I don't see actually being 'declared' to the province or whatever, especially after hours!)

      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.
