ttammara 11 Posted December 20, 2012 My name is Tamamara. i am just trying to get past all of these clearances I have to do. I had a cardiac appointment yesterday and now they want a stress test (he just wants to get some visits out of me). I did pulmonary testing yesterday and will see the MD for their blessing tommorrow. I thought the insurance company was going to be the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hakuna Matata 5 Posted December 21, 2012 Sounds like a plan! I have only 1 wk of pre-op diet which will begin on Jan. 7. I am a little worried about the pre-op diet because I do a lot of mindless eating and I am worried about eating something before I realized I did it. I am going to try very hard to give 100% to it.

Cookiemonster73 92 Posted December 22, 2012 Hakyna, I was so concerned about my pre-op diet evaluation ...but then I realized that this is why I am having WLS so don't worry and record all your daily in takes.....you will be fine...Today I saw my pcp and she was totally exited about the outcomes...she recomenrthe lapband I spoke to her and explainedmt concern in regards to it and she agreed....This has been pretty straight forward for me ..nmy concerns and worries are posr-op....

alliecat1095 128 Posted December 22, 2012 Hi, what really helps is logging your food and exercise. We use My fitness pal on our phones. It's a free app. My handle is alliecat1095.. I would recommend you take your measurements weekly because once you have a stall it helps to know you are losing inches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
