Thanks Tara, that's what I'm doing. I only have/had 3 appointments total. The consult, scope the surgery.

Cool... I'm in dallas as well

They scheduled both of my appointments during my first consult.

Yes

What is a preop approach? I'm supposed to have surgery to get the band in.

I My insurance paid for the ECG and my understanding is that it will also pay for the hernia repair. My out of pocket is $5500.

I'm scheduled for Thursday to have surgery. The lady isn't answering my questions quickly enough... All I've paid so far is $25. I just don't want any financial surprises come Thursday.

Did you have to pay any money upfront?

Did you have to pay any money upfront?

Did any of you use the True results self payment option? Did you have to pay any money upfront?

Is anyone using True Results self payment option? I'm curious to know how it works? What did you have to pay as a deposit?

How did that work out for ou?

I've been reading different forums and some people say they have trouble eating rice and Boars Head lunch meat. Is there any other foods that I should look out for? I'm trying to avoid ALL stuck episodes!

Good luck! I'm on day 6. I use 2% milk then I water it down. Day 3&4 were the hardest for me.

I wondered about telling people at all!!! Simply because some people are soooo negative and they are quick to tell you the cons. My advice would be just watch who you tell. I haven't told my sister. Telling her is = to posting it on Facebook. Do what you feel is right. I have a few people I want to tell but I will only tell them after the band is in place.

Good Luck tomorrow !!!!!

Have any of you been banded yet? If not when is your date?

Everyone else is eating and I'm in my room drinking protein!!! CHEERS TO ME!!

I like the Isopure brand. It's tart but its like a sugar free Kool-aid. I sip on it for about 4 hours at work. I also like the strawberry and vanilla GNC brand.

I had to weigh today before they did he scope.

Today is day 4 of my pre-op diet. I had the ECG done today. I've lost 4 pounds so far!!! I'm anxiously waiting for July 11!
