Finally NWWLS



Recommended Posts

So if any of you have read my threads on here then you would know that I have gone round and round with the insurance companies...multiple ones actually mine and my mothers. I have been dealing with this since last summer. Wanting it for two years. Last night after being told that the lap band was an exclusion again, by a new insurance company I decided to just save up and go to Mexico. My mother said she would pay for half and I would pay for half. Ijust had to sav eup 5 grand. Just now I was sitting at my desk, I E-mailed my mom and said hey by the way I need your information for you're health insurance. When she responded she said, I will give it ot you tonight. By the way I called NWWLS today and you're surgery is May 23rd. You will need to pay for half of this but it's on my credit card. Don't tell dad yet.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT.

Out of no where she did that I didn't even know she had a credit card for tha ammmount I was shocked. I think it is because she refinanced the hous,e but who knows. I am just so shocked. If any of you have seen the movie the secret then you will understand this. I finally decided to just think that I was going to have the surgery and everynight Iwould lsiten to the tape the secret to the secret and I told myself that I would have the surgery by June no matter what. Two weeks later I get that E-mail from by mom. And a surgery date at the end of may.

Thought become things.

Thanks guys!!! I am soo shocked. I mean there were times where she told me she wouldn't help me. But she said that I have proven to her that I am responsible. I can't beleive it. She cares. It's hard for her too because sh ehas never ever ever been overweight like me...she was a red head bombshell in High School. But she knows how happy I will be. New life here I come!!!

      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.
