Awesome... Congrats & good luck!

What is your date??

I hope my approval is fast!

Glad to hear everything went well & you're home resting! Good luck on your journey!!

I was told that too. If u get rashes or sores in the folds of your stomach it could cause infections. You have to have them thoroughly documented though. I'm sure it would need to be more than 1 or 2 incidents.

Ok, thanks. I had my last life skills class tonight. I just can't wait to get this show on the road. I have high blood pressure & am borderline diabetic. I saw my pcp today & he said he will do my 3 month a1c at next months visit. If it hasn't improved he wants to start me on meds. I can't have that.

I live in Newark.... How long have you lived in DE?

That's great! Do u have Aetna insurance?

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!

You can get supplements at GNC. It's usually tea & pills

Has anyone had to do the optifast diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery? How was it? Trying to see if I'm going to be hungry during that time. I've been drinking 2 protein shakes a day as meal replacements & eating a sensible dinner, but I have to say that I'm still hungry after drinking the shakes drinshshakes.

Congrats! How long did it to you to get approved & what insurance do u have? Trying to gauge how long it will be for me to get a decision after my surgeon submits the paperwork

I would also try doing a cleanse. We can carry 5-20 lbs of excess weight in our colon. Ridding your body of that will help!

Really... I hope mine gets approved that fast

I'm live in Delaware, but from Maryland

My nutritionist said I can't have caffeine ever again. I don't drink coffee, but if I did it would have to be decaf for all of the reasons everyone has shared.

What insurance company do you have?

I buy plain & add frozen fruit & Splenda to it
