  15. yikes! have you talked to your surgeon? are you sipping instead of gulping? have they checked the opening to be sure that you have room for food?
  16. very true! you definitely dont want to live on just Protein shakes. thats sad that the SIL is going so extreme! i think most likely, she had gastric bypass. i hear often that gastic bypass patients get really sick easily. as sleevers, we wouldnt get so sick so fast because we dont have malabsorption but i guess if we only lived on shakes forever, there would be similar consequences.
  17. lol thats how i feel. but goooodness, id kiss the ground if my insurance company told me to lol. i just pray its not too long. and i pray its an APPROVAL! lol
  18. ive heard stories of ppl being approved within 3hrs! i DOUBT im that lucky but goodness gracious, id be so happy!!!
  19. i gained about 10lbs since the start. i meet my surgeon for the 1st time on tuesday & hopefully ill get a date! dec 1st marks my 6month appt.. hopefully he doesnt come down too hard on me.
  20. ahhhhh.. im so scared. i pray my insurance gives me a SPEEDY approval.
