hmd got a reaction from ☠carolinagirl☠ in Calling Any Nc Bandsters
Doing ok, down to 255!!! as of yesterday. Started at 284 day of 1st dr. appt back in feb. Pretty bad port incision pain comes and goes. Bout "DONE" with the Protein shakes.., bought 7 cases from costco. The mistake I made was that I started replacing two meals with them even though doc didn't require any pro-op diet (except for the day before surgery), now I'm just sick of 'em. Been supplemting with Pacific brand Butternut squash Soup & Campbell's Soup-At-Hand. Not very hungry ( but I can't wait to get my 1st fill and start trying to see what I can eat in the real world, healthy of course). Got a freezer full of morningstar products (which I already love)

hmd got a reaction from Boisvert in Would Love A Band Buddy To Help Me Along The Way! Surgery Date Is July 2!
No assigned pre-op diet but my surgeon asked that I do my best to lose the 10 lbs I put on since my first consult back in late January. Down since last pre-op visit on June 12th... We should stay in touch. My surgeon also routinely does an aggressive fill at time of surgery and according to him he doesn't have patients ask for additional fills very often... That sounds kinda weird but I won't argue. I want max restriction asap! I've been substituting at least one meal a day with the Premier shakes from costco (during the work week two meals) I really enjoy the costco shakes and they have almost no sugar, just 3g or so and 160 calories! Lost 5 of the 10lbs already!

From what I have been told, when you have BCBS they wait until the last minute to submit you because they (BCBS) never denies. That is what the admin at my surgeons office told me... I called and asked them to submit my claim immediately (because I was nervous also) and they nicely did, then called me two days later to tell me I am approved! Call the admin of you surgeons office and set you mind at ease. Now all I gotta do is show up, lay down take a few deep breaths & wake up & start living!
