Wow, and just think -- we may ALL get handled that way if you-know-who gets his way. :blushing:
It's funny, you know, but the more I read in this site about the troubles that US citizens have with their complicated insurance system and Medicaid, etc, the more I think you guys really NEED a universal health care system.

Our system isn't perfect by any means, but ask any Aussie about how difficult or easy it was to get the band, either privately or through the public system, and I'll bet most of them would say it was a walk in the park compared to the stories from our US counterparts.

And they have an online blog: xxxxxxxx. There's also a latex allergy questionnaire. I'm really frightened of that one. (Plain, I'll expect a comment here)

I am soooo not amused. Crap and double crap. If I'm a really good girl, I may even get to do a 6-month diet. Wow, and to think, if all had gone the other way, I'd be celebrating my 1 week bandiversary tomorrow.

Life's funny, ain't it? :blushing:

Seriously? How demeaning!!!

Life's funny, ain't it? :blushing:

Sooo sorry. Life does throw you little twists every now and then, huh? It will get better.

Hey, I waited 5 years to get mine...not for the same issues. I was dating a semi-jerk and he was against it and I was sooo eager to make him happy. I didn't do it....when I finally left him (and VA) I looked into it and had it done.

It'll come, and you'll get there!

And they have an online blog: Keep Your Chins Up.

I hope you're sh*tting me. That's the name of their blog?!? That's pretty offensive to me and I may be the least PC person here (Ok, so the least PC person is Beth :blushing:). Other considered titles for their blog:

Barely Human

There's Still Hope, Fat Ass

OMG look @ U

Impending Coronary

I like the second one...

Maybe refer the makers of that blog to the Yo Momma thread.

Really...that's HORRIBLE. This is the government, right? The medicaid folks?

Wow. Just wow!!

Maybe it should be named something to convey a sense of urgency, like Time's Running Out.

What we need are tort reforms, and other major tweaks to the existing system -- NOT to scrap it.

Anyway, sorry y'all... didn't mean to get politics going in here. :blushing:

Or the flip-side... Why bother?

      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.
