  13. I just ordered a sample pack that has several different flavors from chike. Can't wait to try them.
  14. Hey Mississippi guys and gals!! I'm from northeast mississippi. I am going to Dr Pinson on Wed to discuss having VGS.
  15. I know this is an older thread but I was wondering how everyone has been doing. I am scheduled to do initial with Dr Pinson on Wed. I decided to go to him because of it being closer to home for me and I have not heard of anyone having any complications.
  16. My doctor requires a two night stay regardless of pay source. I'm self pay but I appreciate that.
  17. Has anyone here used Dr Pinson in Tupelo? I'm scheduled for initial app next week. Would like to hear from someone and hear their experience.
  18. Hey everyone!! I'm a Mississippi girl too!! I live in Iuka. I have BCBs ins that has the bariatric exclusion so I'm having to pay out of pocket. I considered Mexico but decided I want someone closer if I had complications. I have my initial consult with Dr Pinson this coming Wed. Excited and nervous.
  19. Thanks everyone! I think I will check out some of the other brands.
  20. Has anyone tried the fit bit? Which do you like? I've looked at the fitbit flex and fitbit bit one. Not sure which to get.
  21. Jenelle, I have enjoyed reading your journey so far. Wishing you the best of luck. I'm hoping to have surgery in May. I go next week to see the surgeon. I hope I have an easy time like you. I'm not really worried about pain, but more so of having nausea and vomiting. Maybe it will all be good though. Getting excited and ready for a change!!
  22. Good luck to all who are joining the losers bench tomorrow!! I hope I'll be joining you all soon!????
  23. I am hoping I can bypass the psych eval or shop for someone else. That's just to pricey for me.
  24. I have to two two weeks high protein low carb and then two weeks clear liquid. I haven't gotten my surgery date yet, but I'm doing the high protein low carb now.
