Oh no I hope everything is ok. Keep us posted. I wish her Good luck

I think is important to look at his videos Stephanie on Fasttrak because he says that he wants the liver to shrink but from what I have heard alot of people have cheated but it seems as if no one that I have heard on here has been turned away by Dr Curry. I watched a couple of his videos online and its very informative. Good luck

LOL funny how true what is more bland...sorry to hear about your experience I hope you can keep stuff down in the near future

lol whats more bland than baby applesauce? if im gonna barf it up im going for something real.....cecilian spagetti lol

Thats good let me tell you I have told a couple of people and people have been negative. I am like until you are morbidly obese then don't tell me I shouldn't do this. I just ask for prayers and positive thoughts. GOOD YOUR FAMILY UNDERSTANDS... Good Luck

I don't have a date yet I still haven't finish with the nutrionist. I was wondering how long it would take after you have the egd to get an appt. I think mine maybe in Nov...not sure yet....I am happy all is well with you. And also good LUCK TO JAKAT AND NEEDASLEEVE.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy you are feeling fine....so how much did you lose on the liquid diet. Jakat have you started your liquid diet yet if so what goods do you like.

I was too lazy to get up in the middle of the night to wish you luck Rachel but I did say a prayer. Hope all is well. I know you will be grougy today but don't worry you can always come back and keep up updated. Take Care smoochies

Rachel 4 more days are you ready.....we will all pray for you to have a easy go around. I wish we didn't have to buy the food from their because I would rather do Slimfast or a cleanse. I just think I will waste money on these foods. I don't spend $200 in a month on food. I AM A COUPONER!!!

Good Sally congrats on your weight loss....I know I have a long way to go but I just want to make sure I am able to tone the majority of my body. more than likely I will need a Tummy Tuck. Katie he recommended sleeve for me because I have to lose over a hundred but I don't want to be thin. I figure around 160lbs I will still be considered overweight but hey that's ok. Lets keep posting.

yea Rachel thats good you lost some weight. SO anyone have suggestion on what foods through Dr Curry would be pretty good. Even though I just decided to go through the process I still have time before I even start the pre-op diet. I guess I will miss eating around the holidays if I am approved for it. oh well no more good dressing and ham.

Hi I am also considering Dr Curry had appt last week. I know I read something about a manual. Is there a bigger manual that what

is in the bag that they give you. Come on all you ppl out their who already had the surgery give us some insight. I am still going

back and forth on this or the band. But it seems like alot of people like the band.

I had to my doctor and like I said we talked about my weight and things I was doing to help lose weight but she

said I am best going to Dr for surgery and follow their program I could scream because I think I would get approved at

least a month earlier but oh well.

Oh me too but I am having insurance pay for mine so I am hoping that in 7-8 weeks they say lets go and getter done. I have an appt for the egd but what do I expect I mean is it going to be painful what are they looking for???? yes I am nervous I wish I had done this back in May but I was nervous. I am sure not looking forward to that liquid diet. .....I am wishing you look thanks you make me wanna cry I hope we both have a successful weightloss and surgery. I figure I will join weightloss classes

Well I haven't had breast reduction done yet but i am thinking of it before having weightloss surgery. I too am like you is their any exercise to do because if do then I may hold off on the reduction I am 46ddd. I hear people say they deflate pretty bad after weightloss surgery. So not sure

Howdy neighbors I am in Cinti and just got started with the process so right now we predict about nov for my surgery. I am my emg done Oct 13. So just readinf what you guys wrote it seems like I am in good hands. So Rachel how long did it take you to get approved after your first visit. WELL ANYONE CAN ANSWER THAT QUES it they want. It seems like their staff is very experience and that they are quick to get everything going. Good luck RACHEL!!!

Thanks for the replies are really appreciate....Now the sit and wait game I think so far we are looking at Nov...this will be a challenge to turkey, dressing OH MY

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE INFO...I am sure when I do go to submit they will find out its for weightloss surgery because I assume the Bartric doctor would have to submit paperwork for me to be off. Wish me luck I just started the process of finally going to see a dr about the surgery.

FMLA is available to employees in employer groups of 50 or more, if the employee has worked 20 consecutive weeks prior to filing.

It does protect your job for 12 weeks but it does not cover your pay. To get covered paychecks, you either have to use your paid time off (PTO) or file for short-term disability.

You will be required to provide medical documentation from your physician & I can tell you it needs to be very specific for the expected length of your 'disability'.

All of this is "supposed" to be confidential but that is never ironclad.

You should talk to your human resource department. You don't have to tell them anything other than you have a chronic medical condition that will likely require surgery. Good luck!

Thanks so much I agree things should stay in HR but unfortunately when I had another surgery I was a supervisor and alot of things did't stay hush hush and it's sad.

O

I meant 'I guess I don't understand what it is', not you!!! Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude!

hahaha its ok I don't understand either. I just don't want people at work to know that I am

having this surgery.

Hello new here but I have been reading alot. Anyways i am thinking of doing the surgery. Are you allowed to submit

for FMLA and/or disability for gastric surgery. I have been there for 7 years and I did use it in the past for something else about

3 years ago and I didn't tell people what it was for and I believe that someone from HR told a person what I went on

leave for, of course I don't have evidence.

Not sure if I should use my doctor dietician for the 6months supervised diet or my own doctor??? I have proof I did

dieting and exercising last year but not sure if insurance will consider that since I only did it for about 4months. I have Medical

insurance if anyone wants to know...Thanks for the help

Well I paid the bill already that was almost 2 years ago...but this time I am going to a different doctor and the lady claim whatever the insurance co doesn't pay they will write offl. I hope she is right

Does anyone here have that insurance. I know when I tried about 2 years ago they told me the doctor was in my network so that I would only

have to pay my copay well fast forward a month and I have to pay his entire bill and it was almost $300 just for 10 minutes I had to set up a payment plan because I didn't even have the money to afford it. The said it was because of the cpt code and I told medical mututal thats why I called you guys in advance to see if it would be covered.
