@peteyrulz. May I ask why you were denied. I'm so nervous that that will happen to me.

WOW!!! sorry to hear all this madness so far I haven't had an issue............

[heynowkc 329]

WOW. Thanks to the lovely Pam at one of their other offices, I was approved by my insurance and able to secure a December 17th surgery date this morning. (I am kind of freaking out, but the good kind of freaking out.)

But I did find out some more news. Apparently the Stafford office was completely closed last week and was told that they do plan to open a southern office again later, but not right now. As I live in Fredericksburg and work in Richmond, this is unfortunate for me, but I will be okay. Just a little bit of an extra drive for all my pre-surgery appointments.

Hopefully they will quickly recover from whatever change-ups are happening. Transitions can be hard and they were definitely scrambling to work out everything they can for me.

Hey all! I have a TON of the leftover Batiatric Advantage powder - Iced Latte, vanilla, and banana. I only had one scoop of the Banana. If anyone is interested, you can have them for free if you're willing to pick up in NoVa. I figured I'd offer it up before I totally waste it and throw it all out.

How did you mix yours because they are horrible the samples that I have had

[Ladiec2 74]

I will take the banana and vanilla if that's ok

I wish I had chosen different flavors. The Orange Cream is terrible. Has anyone had any luck in making frozen Protein pops? Just an idea I had. This might be the better way to go with the orange flavor. Blech. It may be better mixed with chocolate or vanilla. (I used to love those chocolate oranges when I was a kid.)

Also had a hard time downing the Soup yesterday. Gonna have to doctor it up with veggies like they suggest and maybe add more liquid next time to dilute it.

One plus is that I'm not hungry at all, so at least I'm not dealing with that too!

One last thing... when I was at the office yesterday I was told by one of the ladies at the front desk that the doctors in Blue Point have split up. May be why things have been so weird with some office staff leaving and the Stafford office closing last week.

omg they're splitting up? no wonder I couldn't get thru to Stafford! This has been one problem after another for me. I hope it's not an omen. ????

I'm not driving to Fairfax, that's for sure. I hope the Woodbridge office is still available.

Yes, the Woodbridge office is still open and running, thank goodness. That's where I went yesterday. I'm a patient of Dr. Halmi's. I am not sure if the locations have changed for any of the other doctors though. They seem to be doing the best they can and I was treated very well yesterday. The Stafford location has been removed from the site so you may want to try calling the Woodbridge number.

Oh the Soup was horrendous. After two days I just stopped eating it. I couldn't.

[krimrod 39]

Of course! Like I said, I'm just going to throw them out otherwise. Might as well try to give someone some use out of them. I'm post-op and drinking a variety of other Protein supplements, so I just have no use for them.

I'll message you

The only thing I can think that might make it tolerable is to use the Tomato idea and puree it with my hand blender and then it might be like a creamy Tomato Soup. I don't know. I'm definitely going to try.

I didn't get the soup thank-goodness I opt to have the light progresso soup

[heynowkc 329]

@@Megan00 Hmmm they didn't tell me this was an option. If I can't manage it after a couple days maybe I'll call and ask them if I have any other options.
