Faded Design

I'm in Louisville Kentucky, I have Medicaid. Everything was paid for 100% except the 4 visits to the nutritionist. The first visit was $50, the other 3 were $17 a piece. Total out of pocket so far is $101. I'll update this when I get a fill. I'm not sure if the fills are covered.

Haha, ok. Thanks guys. I just don't want to blow the 5 months it took to get to this point.

Posts like this kinda freak me out. My surgeon doesn't do the, as he put it, "Cookie cutter" fills. Where you go and get a cc on your first fill, a cc on the second and so on and so on. What he does is on your first visit, they access the port and lock it down 100% so Water can't even get through, then sit you up on the edge of the bed and have you drink a few gulps of water, then they slowly remove the Fluid till you feel the water start to drain into the stomach, and that's your "sweet spot" for the fastest weight loss. Reading about someone having these kinds of reactions to a 1 or 2 cc fill make me worried about suddenly getting a 8 - 9 cc fill all at once on the first visit. But he said that his patients lose as much weight as a bypass patient in their first year by cutting out all the time it takes to find your "sweet spot".

I'm 4 days into my liquid diet, surgery is the 28'th. I was reading my pre-op paperwork yesterday and seen that I could have as much broth as I wanted as long as it was a low sodium. Well, I was really wanting something other than a shake or sf Jello, and I didn't have any low sodium broth at the house so I figured I'd just have normal broth and not drink any diet soda or anything today to make up for it. I just got back from the sore getting some low sodium broth, and I wanted to compare the two, and that's when I noticed one of those little cubes makes 14 servings? The hell? How do you split 3 cups of Water between 14 people? I thought I maybe I had a days worth of sodium or something, (30% of a days sodium per cube, and I figured it made 2 or 3 servings tops) but it seems I had like 4 and a half ? (14 x 30 = 4.2 days worth of sodium) I'm worried about retaining some water so I'm just going to drink water from now till the 28'th to try and flush as much salt out of my system as I can. Is there anything else I can do? Besides making sure to read the whole label before eating something from now on.
