no' date=' i don't want it done unfairly, everybody should have to do the same requirements with the same insurance company--- well in fairyland I guess that might happen-- I am very fat, and did eat myself up to where i am---(if I had known 50 was the magic number I would have tried harder) :) - if the rest of you didn't, well you are saints or something-- I'm also old and every month counts -- once i have a date i will be the most pleasant old lady you could find-- it's the waiting that's got me on edge and making my stomach feel like there's a cement fist grinding in there[/quote']

I'm not so sure it is the insurance company but the plan adopted by your employer.

I have waited 3 years :( because 2 insurance companies denied me. I am approved and scheduled now but I had to endure a lot of Band pain the last 3 years. Life isn't fair and insurance companies see you as a case file....not a human. It could be worse than a 6 month wait!

I "ate my way up " to 51 BMI, now 48 and I still have to wait for my "reward" where I may have serious health problems and complications or

I think I'm from another planet because the word "reward" means something totally different to me

What does the word reward mean to you?

I really had to fight to get approved and it took 4 extra months. I made a choice to be productive with that time to prepare for the possibility of surgery. I was finally approved and 13 days later I was sleeved. I will be the first to tell you that I am not a patient person but I also know enough to go with the flow when needed. My surgeon was furious with the way I was treated (as was I) however in no way would I ever begrudge or think down upon anyone else who was able to have the surgery before or after me regardless of their circumstances. I am on this forum because I believe most people feel this way and we are here to support each other. At the very least I hope everybody can be respectful of each other.

In my world, a reward is a satisfying return that is earned, given or granted based on positive behaviors, like positive reinforcement.....

Apparently the more snicker bars you eat the less hoops you have to jump through...

I mean now that I think about it, the more snicker bars you eat the bigger you get and the less you can jump. Also hoops come in a standard size and at some point you can no longer fit through it...do they make plus size hoops, does anyone know....

Sigh

Lmaoo omg I just had to idea how to get my surgery quicker...

I'm going to call 911, let them know I'm having a fat-attack and Demand an ambulance immediately. That way I don't have to sit around in the emergency room. They'll rush me right in for my reward. And I'll be fixed!!! Brand new, no problems!

Why didn't I think of this before?!?!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
