Absolutely. Did do the research and talked to several patients. I'm nervous but exvited to have the Sleeve done...no bands here.

Fawn1120, When was your surgery done? I think this just started happening this year. I never heard of it either until the last 6-8months...makes me sad and nervous. I would of had the entire amount saved for everything but heard that and it set me back. It sucks cause' now I have to wait, budget and up before I can get a date set.

Thanks for the link :-)

Weblink is not working. Any idea about any others?

Thank You :-)

Sleevefox, Well, what happened? was it serious? I am reading all this and wondering what was the diagnosis from the doctor you seen the next day?

I wanted to use Dr. Aceves too but could not afford him. It took me way to long just to save for Dr.Kelly's $5400 + $500 bmi + $300 flight. I really wish I could afford Dr.A. All these overage fees freak me out. Seriously, how much should a person have on hand incase they do overcharge ya? Its gonna be a hardship just doing $150-$200 on overages...but I need this surgery.

I thought that might be the ticket (Cooking healthier for us all). Back to the list...Was everything else on the list you didn't mention ok?

Laura-ven, Sorry about the double message. Oops...lol! Thanks Danilax... good information. I am slowly weening off soda but I just adore the taste and I'm VERY freaked out about Aspertame side effects.

laura-v Thank You lol! It was easier & faster because I just did this months list. I know it's gonna be hard but I am willing. I seriously hate Best Foods/Hellmann's Olive Oil Dressings. So, is there a different kind thats got a better taste then the BF/H...it's just sooo ick! There are 5 of us in the house. One of my conumdrums is...How am I suppose to cook for all them (4) and myself if my intake and my food is so limited? en,

Okay, I found my list, plus I added my pantry supplies. Remember this is my NOW grocery list. I have NOT had my surgery yet... I'm still researching and deciding, it's close though September or October I'm hoping. Oh, and please excuse my spelling it sucks and there is no spell check.

Brighteyes, Thats awesome that they do that for their patients. Makes it so much easier. Can you by any chance please scan and post that list on here by any chance. It could help a lot of us who won't get something like that.

Marfar7, of course I love all these you listed... Cream soups, broth, SF Pudding, Jello/Popsicles & Yogurt. Do I get sugar free or just regular?

dma2013, I'm still in the deciding on surgeon & preparing for before & after. Can you please provide your list of groceries you buy now. It would probably help a lot of us out who are PreOp who struggle in knowing what will we will buy once we do our surgery and help those who already PostOp.
