mine insurance was to pay 80% but I havent gotten final paperwork yet.

AWww, good luck Angie, I am 3 weeks out and the reality is ther now but even as they rooled me into surgery I was thinking I guess I'm really going to do this now.lol I'm glad I did tho.:biggrin0:

The pain will get better after a couple of days, sip,sip,rest and walk and you'll be feeling better in no time.:biggrin0:

erh92, you're right around the corner, good luck to you too!!

Good Luck, you're on your way to a new you!! Carla

There are some days I wonder if I'm getting enough food, 2 teaspoons and I'm stuffed but 3 hours later I feel the emptiness/hunger, yet some of you never feel that hunger? I am taking prevacid so that isnt it, going back to Dr. next week is one month already!!yay,can't wait to go swimming!! Carla

I was thinkin I could take a potato and 3 crawfish and blenderize them!! mushies.. wahlah..lol

aww that's soo good, you'll do great!!:lol0:

I agree the prevacid works for me, it curbs the hunger feeling. Try it and don't risk a visit to ICU. Carla

Glad you did ok and are home, it only gets better..I'm 15 days out myself, rest sip and walk..:lol0:

I'm just curious, my question is for Jane_J what is a GA?:lol0:

I know this sounds crazy but all my life when asked my height I always rattled off 5'9" so imagine my suprize when the Dr. measured me and I was a full inch shorter and it definitely rasied my BMI. It's worth a shot anyway if the second sleep study doesen't come through for you. Carla

I lived on Onion Soup from the Japanese Resturant, warmed it a little and added small amount of unflavored gnc whey protien, it was what sustained me the most, mushies are better but you can only hold 2-3 spoonfuls but the weight is coming off:)

I'm so sorry, go to website and if it's still not covered, contact your Human Resouce dept and ask them why it's not covered, maybe they can add it or consider a no interest loan. Carla

I bought the GNC unflavored whey protien and added a little to the broth and drank the k20 water and it really helped me. It is totally unflavored and I heated the broth a little before adding. Good Luck! Carla

you'll probably know within 12 hrs of your surgery, I came home the next day. I didn't need anyone but my hubby was here outside on the tractor. A recliner is wonderful the first few days. Better safe than sorry tho in case something happened and you couldn't act for yourself. Carla

Thanks guys, it just seemed as if you get in 2 oz liquid with no problem on the clears that it wouldnt be a problem on the mushies..but it is a big difference so I backed up and started on smoothies with greek yogurt and soups blenderized,got to remember to get liquids in. I feel great even drove myself 2 hrs to see Doctor 8 days post op..yay for the grannies!!:001_smile:

I was sleeved on the 29th, right behind you. I hope things get better for you. It is a adjustment thats for sure. Go see Doctor and feel better soon. Carla:001_smile:

and it has been hard, do you just jump in with 3 meals and two snacks? If I can't get the mushies in I guess I should stay on liquids...but my Doctor didnt have a full liquid stage. any words of wisdom?:thumbup1:

I'm still on clears but this is the last day(hooray). It's insane that we have so much energy on the small amounts we are consuming but we are buring grossy ole fat.lol:biggrin0: Carla

Hey, just pick your own prsonal pin number.Carla

at a week out on clears your post was like a shot in the arm, what atruly beautifuil person you are inside and out. Have a blast and keep us updated!!
