Hi Nana! I live in Fayetteville and work in HSV.. :tongue_smilie:

Wendy, you pass my home and workplace everyday...i assume you take the parkway into Hsv. I lived in Fayettville for 15 years but moved back to HG July 2005. I miss living in Tn. (Al state taxes-omg).

You are doing so well. I have slowed down a lot...but as soon as i get back from DC i will get another fill and hopefully be a looser once again. keep in touch.

Congrats on getting through all the red tape! Are you submitting paperwork for approval or have you already got that too? I used Dr. Miles and my appt was about a month out from approval so hopefully that will work out for you!!! I have my 3rd fill appointment this afternoon!! Not sure if you've been on the thread for Dr. Miles and Schmitt but here's the link if you want to talk with anyone that's used them. Keep us updated!!

Hey crazygirl2006,

I'm just down the road from you in Oneonta. Dr. Groves from Boaz did my surgery. Good luck with your surgery and God bless your husband while he is protecting us.

Hi,

Are you using Tricare for the surgery? I have been told that the approval process is quick but I don't think Miles in on the list. My file should be submitted to Tricare electronically on Tuesday for approval and they said I should know something Thursday or Friday.

Please thank your husband. There is a list here for military spouses. Mine has been twice and is preparing to go as a contractor. I am in the same boat - hoping to get my surgery done before he leaves. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband.

its getting closer to time. i cant wait. but i still worry some.

aprilapple, it does go by fast it seems.

i guess having to go to the doctors office the 13th and the 19th makes it seem closer.

      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?

      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.
