Thanks I only want chicken broth and water I could drink 4 mugs a day of broth

Is chicken broth a drink or a meal? Should I limit it to meal times or can I have it whenever? I am 4 days post op

I have anthem and it took the 4 days to approve. althought it took almost 3 weeks for dr to send finished file to them. Call the insurance company see if they have received it

I think thats illegal. Go into unemployment for your appeal. I bet you will get unemployemnt

Hope bariatrics in Sewickley pa

Yesterday I went to the seminar. It was 2.5 hours long. I got my binder. Today I scheduled all of my pre surgical requirements. i will be done with all pre cert work by January 14! The binder was nice. It has so much info in it. Including a meal plan for phase 1,2,and 3 and a grocery shopping list. The office is nice they sell vitmains you can get everything you need there for about $35 a month. i could be having surgery in February! I am excited

I never even considered your nerves not being sensitive after surgery! Thanks for pointing that out

How'd it go

i hate logging, but it works. I dont know why I find it so annoying, but I do

I am the same as you to a point. I started considering the surgery in 2011. But was convinced I could do it alone. I gained and lost the same 40-50 pounds all through 2011-2012 and in 2013 I hit my all time high of 350. Then my feet and knees started hurting so bad exercise is all but impossible. I have slight fears. I am perfectly healthy except my weight. What if the surgery causes me to be unhealthy. What if I was going to live a longer life fat than if I developed a complications. But all in all I am sure of my dcision because, my daughter is only 3 years old. I spent all summer watching her play instead of playing with her. She loves rides and I cannot fit on them to go with her. SHe loves Water parks but I exceed the weight limit for the water slides. If she were to get hurt or be in danger I could not get to her in a tinley manner. I know I want this to improve our lives together.

Thanks. There aren't many hours in the day either. I'm a single Mom and work 6am to 4pm every day (Mon-Fri)

Man I love the Y but its $75 a month for my child and I and its a 35 minute drive each way

Did any of your programs partner with a rehab facility for fitness after RNY? If so what was the cost for that

I wanted to use magee, but the appointments were not close enough to my work

oh the dr?! What hospital? I am using Hope Bariatrics

what is this? Im from PittsburgH pa

I guess the main problem is I will not be able to have an appointment with the bariatric clinic until January when my insurance changes, but via phone advice they want me to see my PCP monthly starting now so that I can be ahead in January when i see them

hide him from your news feed or unfriend him. how rude

Will it hinder any of the process if you lose alot in the months leading up to surgery? I am 344 and could probably lose 45-50 pounds in the next 3-4 months if I tried really really hard. Should I work on "crash" dieting and lose that much?

Great! Mine will be $3200 out of pocket
