Not cheese I meant chews darn phone.

I get the calcium plus D Viactive cheese and they give me that chocolate taste I want.

I do tooooons of crystal light flavor powder. Gives more variety.

Wow my surgeon only requires lean meats, proteins, no/low fat, sugar free for the 2 week diet. Then 2 days before surgery is all clear liquids.

Congrats on your surgery....mine is this coming Tuesday!

Awesome...I hope it goes quickly and smoothly for you.

Awwww well thank you I'm just at the point where its like ok is it Tuesday yet? LOL

So I went to my referral and all my pre op appointments and I officially have surgery Tuesday! It was a pretty easy process.

EKG not elf

I only have my consult so far. I didn't have to get a ton of back records though. Just bloodwork, ELF and chest xray along with a seminar. I have my consult Friday with the surgeon. I'm in Louisiana.

Well that's good to know! We have Tricare south too....where are you guys?.....I talked to the nurse from the surgeons office and she said about 4 to 6 weeks from first appointment with them.

I wonder if all Tricare insurances are the same....we have Tricare prime for active duty...I wonder if they would tell me if I called them. I'm just curious about requirements before....I heard of one lady where we are stationed and she had her surgery done and over from consult to finish in about 5 to 6 weeks...

Yes I have high cholesterol with medication elevated sugar migraines and menstrual issues and a strong family history of diabetes and heart disease.

I have my consult June 8th we have Tricare, any specific things they require before surgery will be approved?
