Seminar tonight!!!!



Recommended Posts

Tonight is the Free Seminar in Biddeford, Maine!:lol: This is where we (my cousin and I) fill out the application that the surgeon reviews to see if you qualify for the sugery. We also are attending our first bariatric surgery support group after the seminar. I am so excited and at the same time so nervous,:crying: I have the worst luck of anyone in the world. So, when I hope for something good I get sick to my stomach:crying: because it almost never works out for me. I will post back again when if I hear anything from the surgeon later this week or next week.

Wish me luck.

Oh hun, good luck. I understand your concerns and I was physically ill before I went to my seminar, and didn't even realize I was going to "start my chart" that night! lol I was more worried about driving in downtown Nashville, and getting there and back, being the fattest in the room, etc, etc. Now, all my fears were unfounded and I felt immensly better after, so, relax now! I had my seminar about 3 weeks ago. My biggest hurdle (and I did go over it in flying colors!) was contacting/talking to/convincing my PCP that I needed this surgery. He agreed and I began my 6 month diet last week! yay! Breathe, you will be fine, and you will be approved!

I am excited for you. I went to the free seminar held at Jupiter Medical Center here and learned a lot at the seminar. The surgeon was a very nice guy and really did very well with tell all of us about the different surgeries. He had a client in there also who talked about his experience and they both answered peoples questions. If anything I would say that seminar just help solidify my decision to move forward with this.

I hope you go and leave with a sense of accomplishment and look forward to taking the next step towards a better life.:Banane37:

      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?

      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.
