  1. My dr asks for a two week liquid diet and I in the middle of the first week and sucking so bad! Any tips??
  2. I'm not doing too badly on the pre-op diet today. I called my NUT and found out I can have yogurt and chicken broth. Thank Goodness because I was DYING! I have two small children so I mommy needs some sort of energy! I am having an EGD tomorrow though.
  3. I'm scheduled on July 8th as well. I'm originally from Missouri too, but now I live in Texas.
  4. My date is July 8th. So excited except for the liquid diet. Anyone else on the 8th?
  5. My doctor recommended not doing the carnation instant breakfasts. I found a great protein powder that is delicious. Syntrax Matrix. yummy!
  6. Thanks! I'm so excited.
  7. No clue really, but have you tried just taking metamucil or citricel?
  8. I just called and they told me to call back tomorrow. I talked to a super nice lady. Not even five minutes later she called me back! I'm APPROVED! I started crying. Wow.
  9. I called again about 1:30 and they said they just received it. They are annoying me. I'm calling again now.
  10. I am 23 too. I am currently awaiting insurance approval. I'm scheduled on July 8th and I can't wait.
  11. I called today and they said it was in the final stages. I asked if I could call back later on today to get the final answer and she said probably not until the end of the week. Arghhh! Waiting sucks. lol. I'm still gonna call back and see though.
  12. Thanks. Hopefully I find something out tomorrow.
  13. I was super worried about the psych consult too, but it went really well! Don't be nervous.
  14. I'm tentatively scheduled for July 8th pending insurance approval. I'm hoping for an answer tomorrow.
  15. My surgeons office submitted to BCBS federal for approval this past monday. I thought that jumping through all the hoops would be the hardest part and that is just so not the case. I hate waiting. I have never wanted it to be Monday so badly! I am hoping to hear some good news on Monday! Last week when we submitted for approval, they asked for a tentative surgery date so hopefully that means good things.
  16. I did, but I only had to do it once.
  17. Awesome. Have you had surgery now? We submitted mine today and BCBS called back and asked for a tentative surgery date so hopefully that means good news.
  18. I am submitting to BCBS fed tomorrow and I am so nervous. I had to get a letter from my OB as well. Did you hear anything yet?
  19. I start a CNA class and my second term of prerequisites for nursing school on Monday! At the end of this term, I can apply to nursing school. I am so excited. Still waiting on insurance approval for surgery though. We thought I was finished with everything but I have one more nutritional meeting in June and then we can submit to my secondary insurance. Woohoo.
  20. What is your favorite brand and flavor of Protein? I'm still preop but I'm supposed to replace one meal with a shake so far. Thanks.
  21. I haven't been sleeved yet, but I heard that this shampoo works wonders. http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Cosmetics-Everyday-Shampoo-Chamomile/dp/B000FGC99Y
  22. I know what you mean. I only have to see my PCP one more time on May 2nd before we submit to insurance! Aaaaah! Good luck.
