Just knowing what April has gone through, seeing something like that is highly offensive. She was actually injured leaving work when the roads were very icy here. It was mandatory that we go to work that day, or risk being fired. April and I were going to lunch, and she slipped and fell in the parking lot, on a solid sheet of ice. Unfortunately, like she said, that triggered a long and winding process, crippling her to where some days, she can barely move without being in immense pain. One thing that we talk about, is how excited she is to be able to be active again so she can get another job. I'm happy abd excited for you, April. Your new life is just around the corner!

Don't cry. People never know where life may take them and should not be judgmental. I am so happy you are so close to getting your surgery and wish you the best of luck.

Thank you. It's just been a crazy day and a shock to see that.

I believe you and accept your apology. I've emailed Alex to remove the mean comments from both of us permanently. I do not know how else to have them removed.

I tried to edit out the screenshot of your statement that I posted but it won't remove the pic. It'll only let me edit the wording. Otherwise I'd do it myself

I didn't know that Medicare and Medicaid paid for these types of surgeries. It must be very nice to have one as ur main insurance and the other as a secondary. Makes me think why do I work and pay for my insurance and still have to pay over $7000 for my surgery! I've lost my mind!!!

I paid into Medicare my entire life. I am fortunate enough not to be on Medicaid; however, I believe everyone deserves adequate health care. My prior plan didn't cover bariatric surgery...and I am very glad Medicaid and Medicare do. Actually, I now have Aetna Medicare Advantage and it has been great!

OP...you work and pay for your insurance because you can! Would you really opt to be on Medicare and need Medicaid to get by? I think not!

      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.
