Best I can offer, if you die, you will never know it.. I too wondered if I would wake up... Rick

Thanks Dave!!!! Rick

When we eat a slushy meal (pre fill), how soon may we drink something?? At breakfast for instance, coffee or tea before and nothing after???? Rick

I get my first fill soon after you, by Dr Krish. Good luck and keep up what ever you are doing.. Rick:clap2:

I see you will be banded by DR Krish, I hope you do as well as I did, what a great DR he is... Rick

Ralph, I have some optifast left if you want it... kidding, I liked the stuff.. Rick

I had great luck with Dr Krish!!!! What a nice man he is, I have had an overall great experence with his staff also.. Pasco Regional was also very nice, had wonderful care...

I did the liquid diet 3 weeks prior, lost 20 pounds, got banded 11/02 and have had NO pain or problems, infact I walked from recovery to my room....

what is your pre-opp diet? what are you eating or drinking?

So glad I read this at dinner time!!!! Sure helps the hunger.. lol Rick

Nov 02 for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ready tonight!!! Rick

I was told as long as you can read a newspaper through it. it was ok.. I found a great product called Better than Boullion, it tastes great!! Rick

Becky, have you tried the Double Cheese Burger and large fry boullion... oops just me dreaming again.. Rick

Thank you Becky, I did call my Docs. office and they told me "as much as I want". That is good for me because it really gives me the satisfied:whoo: feeling I crave... Rick

Wow, salads!!! I only get liquids for 3 weeks Rick

Does anyone know how much bouillon we can drink on the pre opp liquid stage????? Rick

Nov 2nd for me too.... hardly wait..

Now how do we update it??? Thanks for the info Rick

I think self pay is 14500 for all

Great post, thank you so much... Rick

Great price, long drive from Florida for fills... I wonder if we can get surgery and fills from different doctors????

I will pay the first half... any takers on the second half

I'm in the same boat, keep us posted... Rick

Do you mind telling me the cost and how you were treated by the doc and hosp with out of pocket and not covered???
