Yeah Lisa,

The insurance thing is a joke. My insurance said they would cover any complications including the flouro part of my fills but not the original band...OKAY??? What are we missing? I'm thinking about doing what Penni is doing and submitting it for reimbursement just to see what they say. Sorry your deeper in the hole... Oh, I lost my mind and bought my hubby a moped a few weeks ago. He loves it!!! Babies it all the time and finally something got him off of his computer games. I was able to buy it off of my best friend for $100 and we've put another $330 into it getting it all registered, tagged, titled, new tires and lastly full coverage insurance incase the nucklehead falls off. I'm just thrilled he likes it so much. Anyway keep up the healing girl! XOXO Teresa

Till the knucklehead falls off! GOOD ONE. Yes, I love my band, and I feel like I just went pee-pee in the big toilet for the first time... I just took my first shower in almost a year without a bandage. I'll stuff the thing with gauze in a few minutes, but it sure feels good running around without a diaper shoved in my belly for a few minutes!

I have zero restriction. Last night I ate my biggest meal ever. I need a fill!

Lisa- How much longer do they think it will take- before you are all healed up? Or is it a guessing game? I sure hope you'll be totally healed for Vegas & You can be the first one IN THE POOL!!!!

I think this hole is closing up at a pretty good speed. I used to pack it, then put gauze over the top. Now I'm just packing it and putting tape over the top since there's not much to pack any more. I think it will be closed by May 5, which will be my one year band anniversary. That's my plan.

Good Deal - that would work out well & with time to spare before the bash. By the way your face is looking very thin in your new avatar. I've got some great hair remover for that fuzz above your lip if you want to borrow some-lol ;0)

And the scar doesn't look like a mouth with teeth now. It looks like an eyeball with eyelashes. I'll take a picture tonight.

Penni, I was afraid to say anything cause I thought it would explode back open! Now that it's closed, I can't wait to get a port and have it opened up again! Woohoo, can we go one more year?

      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.
