I am jealous. I really want to have it done but it's 4,500.00 here. I see ads all the time to have it done way cheaper than that.

Denise,

I had it done a couple of years ago and I wouldn't hesitate to have it done out of town/state. I was only down for the day... and was out watching a movie at the theater that night. It is totally awesome!! :crying:

Don't you have to go back for a check after a couple of weeks though? I could have it done in Arizona probably way cheaper. I usually stay there at least 2 weeks when I go to see my dad.

I had lasik done two years ago and I love it. I highly recommend getting the plugs in the eye ducts put in. It keeps your natural tears in your eyes so your eyes never get dry while they are recovering. I got the ones that naturally dissolve after like 2-3 months. I paid a grand for both eyes to be done and the duct things. The next morning when I came back I was like 20/15 in one eye and 20/20 in the other. You can tell you are still healing for a good week afterwards. Oh and I never slept with those stupid glasses on. I tried, but it was so uncomfortable.

Well it has now been almost 3 weeks

WOW the surgery itself was kind of freaky, but the after effects are well worth it 20/20 in both eyes down from 20/40 and 20/35

amazing !!!!!

      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.
