Dini, I know what you mean. I have the broad build too. No one believes me when I say I weight 232. They guess me around 190.</p> <p>I wish. But I have the tire thing going on around my waist and lower

Nice question Lynette! :D

My screen name? :heh: Kind of obvious, but I'll relate the story behind it.

I can't recall how I stumbled over the forum, but I reading over it and hadn't yet registered. Looking for information on my impending surgery. All the paperwork had been sent to the insurance co. a couple of weeks earlier. I'd taken a break and went to check the mail. There was a letter from the insurance co. denying me because it was deemed "not medically necessary" :)

I called the number on the letter and was given the number for the person who actually made the decision. I was furious at that time and couldn't believe my luck at being able to talk with the ass who didn't know what the hell he was doing.

Apparently I wasn't fat enough. My BMI was 36 and I believed because of my PCOS and insulin resistance, I was on the fast track to diabetes and more if I couldn't stop the pounds from piling on. He said I hadn't had an official diagnosis of diabetes, so I didn't qualify for co-morbidities, plus the fact I was only on one medication for it and they required I be on two. Was he serious?

I was astounded!:omg: I asked right out "So I'm not fat enough or ill enough to qualify and I have to WAIT until I am?" He said, "Yes, pretty much." So then I asked him what I needed to do. He pondered for a while and said "Well if your BMI was 40, you would qualify without the need for co-morbidities." *blink* "So I need to get fatter in order to be able to get thinner?" He responded with "Yes, but there's no way you could gain that weight.*chuckle*" I don't know what bugged me more, the fact that all it would take would be to gain more weight, or the fact that this moron thought I couldn't possibly do it.

I saw it as a challenge! I hung up the phone, had a good cry, complained to my hubby and got him to calm me down. Then I came online and was feeling "Frustrated" by the whole experience. The rest, as they say, is history. :D

Hi Frustrated... my band date buddy. I'm so sorry for your experience with the Dr.

6 years ago my girlfriend was banded. She was one of the first in Canada at the time. Her BMI was 35, and the surgeon wouldn't do it unless she was 40... so she did the exact same thing... ate her face off for 3 months. Today she's 100 lbs lighter and in great health.

      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.
