Yum! I'd love to chew on some raw broccoli!

Gee I have insurance and I've already paid my 640.00 deductible and had to pay the hospital1500.00 my 20 percent. I don't know why I thought this was going to be 2000.00 without insurance!

Guess ill have to plan on having help, I sure don't want to mess up my surgery! Thanks

I would but don't know how to add you, I think you have to join. I "liked" your post , I don't know what that does either But let's do try and keep in touch!

I'm having surgery Feb 18th, àt Baylor Trophy Club, sleeve and hernia repair. I'm 63 and I keep my grand babies 3 days a week. You that have already had the surgery think I will feel like keeping them, the week I have surgery? I handle pain very well, but from reading the posts I'm afraid I might be tired. I don't want to be impatient with my grandkids. They are ages 3 years and one is 10 months. I am weak and terribly hungery on my pre op diet. Will I be less hungery and weak after surgery? I could eat the singles off the roof right now. Thanks in advance, Elaine

I'm on my PRE op diet and have bad headaches. I hear the 3rd day is better, I'm on my second. My surgery date is 18th Feb at Baylor trophy club. Lets hang in there girls and guys.

Thanks for adding f me ..I don't see a place to join or add friend here, maybe it's cause I use iPad or iPhone. I look on my desktop tonight maybe ill figure this thing out. I've never done anything Like this online

I live in burleson just Sory of ft worth I'm having my surgery with dr Adam smith

I don't know how to join if there is... Let me know if you find out please . I'm having surgery Feb 18th is like to have a sleeve friend . Going through it with me. My email is looneylaine@ sbcglobal.net

I met you today in dr Smiths office. Did they do your swallow test before you left?

What is a binder?

Thanks Laura for the pic

I wish the sleeve was available when I was 20!

I had to wait for insurance approval. Now they say THERE doctor has to review my cardio approval. I feel like they are putting me off. Why can't they go ahead and give you a schedule? Guess I'm impatient! Lol

If your policy states that it covers weight loss. In my case the VS, and your bmi has to be 40, or have two problems such as high blood pressure, or diabetic. What reason would they have for denying it. Also it requires one hour with nutrition one hour psych. Which I have done. I am so nervous, and just wondering what reasons are given for denial. Any responses will be appreciated. Oh... I do not have anything medically wrong except the 40 bmi

I'm sooo bad ... I confess I had to gain to get to 40 so I would meet the qualification

I hear ya!

Well I meet all the requirements so says the insurance rep from the docs office . I got my fingers crossed!

Thanks so much...

That is the best news yet! I love my diet coke. Will your stomach let you know when you have had enough?

I will be sad if I am denied ... I had to gain a few, to get to the 40 bmi. I feel bad, like cheating. But I have battled food since my first child 40 years ago. I thought insurance would approve if you were overweight enough and had the coverage? I have had fun eating just what I want since I decided to get the surgery. I know it is just more to lose.

You drink sodas!? Do you wait till they are flat to drink them? That is the one thing I will miss forever, I thought
