Great article! Thanks for sharing!

Pre op supervised diet with PCP #4 - done . Slowly getting closer and hoping for a mid June surgery date. scale showed that I had gained 1 pound. I am trying not to gain any weight during the pre-op process for sure, and it would be nice to loose some. My personal goal is 5-10 pounds during prior to surgery. I am in Auburn, AL. I picked up my CPAP and used it for the first time last night. It was a lot like sleeping with an octopus on my face, lol, but I am sure it will improve eventually. When I did sleep, it felt like a deeper sleep, so I do think this will be a good thing once I get use to it. So glad to hear everyone is moving along nicely .

I am glad you questioned them. I have more time than money myself, and it never hurts to ask. Way to go!

Ok, I just saw the section for a prescription. Thanks for the links Alex.

This is a great post. I am looking into Vitamin options now for after surgery. I wonder if any of the other major vitamin suppliers offer the same option to bill your insurance and only charge the co-pay? @@Elode did you have to give them a prescription from your Dr.?

@@mclorrie so glad it is going well. I may try the half calf approach as well.

@@VSGAnn2014 - could have peed myself laughing! Thanks for the smile.

Congratulations!

Love, Love, Love them!

For all that you have been thru, you seem to have a remarkable attitude. I am sure this will take you far. I am praying for your full recovery. Keep us posted.

Yippeeeeeeeeeee! Congratulations!

Good luck on your journey!

@wildflowergirl I can't imagine how frustrated you have been. It will happen, but looks like it will take a little longer. Keep your chin up.

That is odd. I hope it all works out. My SS Center called to pre cert me a couple days before and then confirmed my coverage before the procedure. Seems like that should be the norm.

I made myself take a couple of days off from the computer..lol... I was so excited to get on line today and see the progress everyone is making. I think we have made it to "hump day" in the pre op process. I think things will really start moving from here. I pick up my CPAP tomorrow and go for pre op visit #4 next week. I am so glad you are all doing well!

Eeeeekkkkkk! It is getting closer Yay!

@@mclorrie how is it going without the caffeine? Is the hubby hiding from you yet? JK I am down to only one cup a day, but I also have tea. They both have to go and I am not looking forward to it!!

@ccol625 I hope you are approved. The process is nerve racking to say the least. I am in my 6 month pre op right now and this is always on my mind because of my BMI being so close to the requirement. Just wanted to say good luck!

Ladies, what a great topic and I have been wondering this because the first weigh / in was listed on my documents as #1. Anything to speed this 6 months along . I have given up all sodas and I am down to one cup of coffee per day. I need to drop the tea as well. I need to start working to not drink during meals. I think this is going to be really tough for me!

Could have been they are supposed to try different masks during "titration" Thursday so I can't wait to see what superhero I will be! Lol

I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea and go in tomorrow night to sleep with my machine so that they can adjust it. @@mclorrie - I hope you get yours adjusted for a good nights rest soon.

@@joatsaint thanks for the heads up. I love freebies! Just ordered mine

Hear, hear! 45 hoping for surgery in June 2015!

I hope you are feeling better soon ~

@@vixen1978 I am in the same boat with a BMI of 40.7. I have been tracking my food as @@mclorrie mentions. I would like to loose 5 pounds during the 6 months, but more than anything my goal is NOT to gain any at the end of the 6 months. I did gain 1 last month. I hope to be sleeved mid June as well.
