I have BCBS of Louisiana they don't cover the surgery I'm sure they will after I pay cash but I'm not going to worry about that. I'm ready now.

6 days into my pre-op diet and I am down 6 pounds. I have been given a pretty relaxed diet compared to several others I read about on here. the main concept is clean eating, high Protein, low carb, low calorie. This is how we should probably all eat anyway right? anyway, the diet is going great so far. I haven't felt too much hunger, nor have I been really tempted with anything sinful. I want to get my liver to a nice comfortable size so my surgery is a lot easier on my surgeon. The easier it is for her, I assume, the easier it will be for me on my recovery. I need to get out of reading in the pre-op diet forum and get over into the post-op diet forum and start getting ready for my big date on the 10th of Sept. Oh, I am so ready to be healthy, active, thin, energetic!!!

only 20 more HOURS until I am in the hospital for my VSG. Getting things ready at home. I am stoked. not nervous at all. Still working on getting insure nutrition and my insurance to cover shakes, scar cream, and Vitamins. I have BCBS federal. Talked to Dr.'s office this morning, they said they signed the script and sent it back!!!
