Hey, buttercup...

just a quick thought....oh first I am so sorry to hear that about your insurance policies and the doctor being booked that is terrible...

Since you have gone that far and everything is set can the doctor guarantee you a date in january if not possible for december...if so?...can you try getting cobra on that insurance....a couple hundred dollars on cobra is still better than self pay...

Plus you will have two coverages so your other new insurer can't exclude for pre-existing....I think...

just a thought.....

hey...big companies...think of all kind of loops....

nothing wrong with us little people trying to find one too!

Just a thought for you to check out!

:paranoid:eek::)

I had my 2nd fill today and so far I am feeling some tightness (fingers crossed that it stays that way for a while)

Jeannie, tomorrow is the BIG day! Good luck with your surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery. You are in my prayers.

I am so glad you are doing well. I can remember being more sore on the left side than anywhere else. It will take a few days but you'll be as good as new in no time. Keep us posted on your progress. Take it easy.

Hey guys!! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. I go tommorow for my first fill. I am sooo hoping for some restriction, because right now, I can eat just about anything. I haven't lost any weight in the past week, and I know it is because I have eaten things I shouldn't. I am looking forward to my fill, and getting back on track.

Good luck Slim. I'm sure everyting will go great!!

Buttercup,

THAT IS GREAT!! I knew your situation would work out somehow-- and look how soon it is!! What a relief. Now that you've saved $15,000+ by not having to self-pay, you get to buy yourself a new skinny wardrobe very soon.

Gosh, did you even have time to finish your liquid diet?

      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.
