goodtimes

Hi guys just wanted to say i finished the class that tells you everything you need, to what you will drink, how much etc. It was very informative. I am not really at peace now because the surgeon, staff are very caring and understanding. The woman who gave the seminar had gastric 7 years ago. I was tooo shocked :paranoid she really looked good and she was saying how she is a fanatic when it comes to working out. she works out all of the 7 days :clap2:. i just wanted to share that because before i know it, it will be next friday. i have soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much to do.

oooopps! i am really at peace now. sorry for the error.

i do too. my dietian says carnation as well. i use skim milk or the slim fast high protein. its 15 grams.

my surgeon said that i needed to lose 5 more lbs. i start my liquid diet 2 days before. question: will those 2 days make a difference in weight loss

i had to go through the dietian, talk to the surgeon and get all the documentation in. since the surgeon does monthly surgeries at the hospital i am going to, my nurse had actually gave me a date before they even put it through the insurance. my nurse told me it would be 2 weeks before hearing back from ins. got an answer in 3 days

you know susan4794 i have to agree you about people walking in our shoes. they really don't know. i have to share with you guys when i was going to my appts. one woman thought i had already had it. I weigh 230lbs. but a lot of people say they can't tell. i've been told i carry it well. umph!!!!

lololololololololololololol ooooo weee podna i love it

my doctor got me on a two day liquid diet. i too don't know how i am going to handle it but it will be well worth it.

that's okay, you guys answered it for me. thanks

ms connie; while still on the mushie stuff, what kind of protein will be good to get full on before getting the 1st fill

Hi all. I had been looking into this site for the last couple of days. And I am very excited about how all the members are comfortable. Just wanted to say hello and I am glad that I joined.

I have to agree with chickie. my surgery is scheduled for june 8th. i have been going through 6 months with my doctors, but i can now see why. they have really been on the band wagon as to make sure i know what i am getting into. that this is only a tool.

yes, in the documentation, there must be some info. documented that you have lost weight. did you say you had blue cross blue shields

hi somethingelse; you can start going to the seminar and preparing for an appointment with the dietian and surgeon. you also can call the insurance company as well. but with me i have blue cross, blue shields i had to go through sleep apnea, dietian a few times. they actually had to have documented records to send to the insurance company. it took 5 months but the surgeon was really indepth with me and how they set high standards.

hi i am going to abbott northwestern. dr. ikramuddin june 8th. i am so excited. i wanted to know if u lose weight a couple days after sugery

thank you. i get banded on june 8th. i am very excited
