Where are you going for your operation?

[SteveOinNJ 0]

I like EAS Myoplex and I get them at GNC, they have the most nutriants and lowest calories of any. I am sore but keep reminding myself that I am on my way!!!! Good Luck Danno! When will you here from insurance Eileen?? Mine only took a few days and I had an answer.

Steve, I'm guessing I would have heard by now but the doc was in italy last week and never signed my paperwork b/4 he left. The office clerk said she will call me in a few days or as soon as she hears. Thanks for asking How are you feeling?

Danno, thats teriffic, I'm glad you found a great doctor. If you don't mind me asking, your insurance company approved you with 65 lbs to lose? reason I'm asking is because most insurances say you have to be 80+ lbs over weight with a few health reasons to be approved.

My BMI was 38, As long as your Primary Doctor says, its medically neccessary, it was approved! Weight now 265, probably down to 190 in time, With Diabetes and other Meds, Lipitor and more, It was accepted

Slept like crap last night but took a nice shower and went out for coffee this morning, not too bad considering it's only the second day after surgery!!

[NJChick 3]

Gee Danno, sorry you had all those other problems, but on a good note your gonna be healthy in no time :) Men always drop weight like its Water (well most of them do)...

Steve, good to see your out and about. Are you allowed coffee the next day? WOWEE I love coffee and that would be something hard for me to give up. How many weeks are you off ?

Ahhhh its a beautiful day in Jersey, the sky is just brilliant baby blue, my favorite color.

How is everyone today? I need more coffee and some oatmeal.. BBL

Danno, Is Great ! Had a Atkins shake for Breakfast, I guess I'll get use to these for 6 weeks or so, They do have 20 grams of Protein, 1 gm of Sugar, so It looks much better than Slim fast.

My Doctor said that when I reached the weight of 222, I should be able to come off all medicines, not sure, just a guess at that time.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. You will be so glad you did this...every day I marvel at how much better I feel and how much easier it is for me to get around...and it's only been nine days since I had my surgery!
