Blue Cross Blue Sheild Federal Approval
Congratulations!!!! I was approved on 1/10 and have still heard nothing about a surgery date when I call the office I get a recording promising to call back as soon as they have the 2014 OR schedule. Shouldn't that be in place prior to 2014? I want this done!!! But how exciting for you! I can't wait to read your progress!

Bariatric Fusion
Thanks! I just ordered a few sample packs of the UnJury to try them out. Hopefully better than the fusion.

Bariatric Fusion
My Dr wants me to use Bariatric fusion for my liver reduction diet as well as post op. I don't have a surgery date yet but I've been sampling different flavors. I've tried chocolate, Cappuccino, vanilla and mint chocolate. They all seem to leave a metallic taste in my mouth. Is this normal with all Protein shakes? I've been mixing with Water. Do you think milk would make a big difference? I just do to spend the big money on the tub if I hate it!

Any February 2014 Sleevers?
I hope to get a surgery date in February. My insurance is approved, my office visit is paid and I am still waiting on a surgery date! I actually called this morning because I wanted to find out what was taking so long. I was put through to a recording that if you have not been called yet they are still waiting on the 2014 surgery schedule. What?? This is frustrating! I want this done ASAP-I want to look decent in a swim suit this summer I'm so happy for all of you with dates already!

What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
I had twins in May 2012. They are my world, a world I want to continue to live in. I am 34 and can only remember ONE year of my life (since puberty) that I was happy with the way I looked. It was my senior year of high school and I was anorexic. I knew it was unhealthy, but man did I look great in my prom photos! The sad thing is, those are the only photos that I actually feel good about when I look at them. I look at my wedding photos and they make me sad. How did I let myself get like this? I don't put blame on my parents, but I wish they would have encouraged better eating habits, good options and exercising! I have several friends who under went WLS. A fee had the gastric bypass and they seem to be right back where they started. Others had the sleeve and look great. I decided a few months ago that I want to look that great. I want to feel great. I am fortunate not up have any other health problems, but I have tried everything on my own and nothing works. As my kids are turning two soon, I want to be able to go EVERYTHING with them. I want to go on rides with them. I want to walk through the zoo, aquarium, fairs etc. without getting tired. I want to pass along healthy eating habits to them and give be an example for them. I want to be able to say that I am thin and buy clothes from places other than Lane Bryant. I want to wear high heels without my feet killing me! I want to feel pretty. I want yo feel good about myself, for me. For my husband and for my twins That's what brought me to where I am now! I just got approved through insurance so I am just waiting on a surgery date. It can not come soon enough!

Vitamin deficiency pre-op
Have been waiting on a surgery date and I got a letter in the mail today that I am low in Vitamins D, B12 and iron. Will this put a delay on my surgery? The office is closed until Monday and I really want answers!

Anyone From Buffalo, Ny Out There?
Thanks! Are there any protein powders that you recommend? Or that give you the most for your money? My Drs recommended Bariatric Fusion but I would like other options just in case.
