  1. How long do they have you doing liquids before surgery? Everyone's surgeons seem so different.
  2. No, not May 15th, May 21st......sheesh. Guess is bed time.
  3. Im being banded on May 15th. We are right now in the middle of a crazy financial situation as my hubby literally just went back to work today, as a matter of fact, after being off work 7 weeks with his 6th knee surgery. But I got a bill in the mail for my surgical consultation and it doesn't look like they tried to even bill the insurance at all. Before I even started the process I called my insurance company to make sure everything was going to pretty much be covered and the doctors office assured me as well. I just hate doing other people's jobs and dealing w/insurance we all know isn't a cup of tea. My biggest physical concern, believe it or not, is my shoulders. I heard the as can really cause discomfort and I am more nervous about that than anything. Also, do they use anything to close the incisions? Thanks! Bethany
  4. May 21sr for me
  5. Now that you all have worked with Dr. Kia, what are your thoughts? I'm boarded for May.
  6. I was doing a search on my surgeon scheduled in May. How'd you do? What did you think? Sorry you weren't able to get your questions answered.
