Great photos! Penni, you can give those goggles to a dog to wear while hanging his head out the car window. I gotta ask: how much did the monovision surgery cost?

The original surgery where I had both eyes done was in the neighborhood of $4500. I did that surgery Oct 2003 and this monovision adjustment surgery fell within the two year grace period of care and this surgery was FREE. I love this doctor. He is so good. I think if you had to have the one eye done with this doc and had the same exact thing I had done it would most likely cost $2500. It could be less though.

Yeah the surgery was a breeze I just hate the every hour eye drops. I only gotta do it for three more days though. Anti-inflammatory, then antibiotic, then in between those I do the lubricant. SIGH!! I am doing eye drops every hour till bedtime. THen I put the goggles on and hit the hay.

I hear the goggles calling me now.

Hey Vera: Yeah I went bolder on the highlights. It really lightened up the brown. I also had her cut the layers a little shorter. I love it. Think it is almost time for a touch up on the roots again though. SIGH!! LOL!!

Christina: You slay me. I'm bringing the goggles to Vegas and going out in them. LOL!!

They actually have them, they are called doggles. Of course, the mere thought of doggles sends me into a fit of giggles.

I think someone needs to steal the battery from Penni's notebook...

      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.
