  1. Should be about 5 days to hear Just make sure you have 3 nutritional visits in 89 days or more Not 88 And you have a letter from a doc not your surgeon, recommending surgery Must be 40 bmi or greater or 35 with co morbidity
  2. You're 1000000% normal.
  3. God I miss my rice ! I had sashimi for dinner tonite and I forgot to tell him to hold the pint of rice. Well there it is the first rice since 6/24 sleeve. Oh wow. I had the sashimi Bliss is defined as 4 ounces of tuna or salmon. Raw. Just a touch of soy. And then there is the rice. So do I have room ? No Am I gonna make some and be uncomfortable. Um nooooo right? And so I had exactly 3 grains Didn't taste right. Let me see if I am wrong. 7 more grains. Oh boy where am I going ? What am I doing? I must stop. I must. 10 more grains on the chopstick! Ach. I will stop! I know! Wasabi is my friend! Lots and lots and lots of wasabi met rice today. And got mixed and mixed and mixed. The rice is now green Well see I told you it tasted funny And now it's downright unedible. Head hunger controlled and back In the damn box Rose 1, rice .5, brain 0!!!
  4. Do as kandis states. Don't dubmit now. Lose the 17 pounds and start over from your high weight since your start. Try a liquid meal replacement maybe once a day to get it off
  5. I am sorry to tell you but if you look through the threads and so a search you will find several members on here who have gained very few pounds - like 5- and been denied by Aetna They are really strict in the no net gain from start to finish. I have done adipex twice and horrible drug that makes you hungrier than you were before you went on it. Brings all the weight back and then some you just can't stop yourself. You can try to appeal but not sure where that will get you. You may have to start a new 3 month cycle. Or change insurance as open enrollment. Not Aetna
  6. How about coconut flour?
  7. And almost every place has mashed potato in an extreme pinch!
  8. I hope the dinner has not happened and you can still go! Red lobster has lobster bisque on the menu and it's delish! Have that. Stay away from the biscuits. Be strong you can do it.
  9. I think it's the protein rich low fat low fiber.
  10. My doc has different requirement of length based on patient. So as I stated, he knows your medical history, he knows what you need to do, how far etc. Don't know about your doc but mine also ordered an abdominal ultrasound to see my pretty innards and gallbladder beforehand. Give him an idea.

  12. Well the Burberry jacket sold mighty quick. One down !
  13. First stop listening to Tom, Dick, Joe, Harry and Kim! They're not your surgeon and don't know your medical history. Second, as everyone has said it's to shrink your liver. Every doctor is different. You don't want to show your doc a lack of commitment to the rules and have him make 5 incisions and then pull out. Stop listening to these people. They're as bad as your aunt Stella who knows a guy who had a cousin whose brothers mothers uncle failed at rny.
  14. Am at 10 weeks out. And mostly it's been once a week. I started with the prune juice. Usually about 4-6 ounces and 4-6 ounce Water combo did the trick by next morning. Tasty it was not. At about 4 weeks out it started not to prove so effective. I moved to Phillips milk of magnesia. I take a couple tablespoons at night and by 10 am it's out. My mom suggested activia and I did that for the last 10 days. Well I think that is my new go to. Because I have one activia every other day and it makes me move every other day. It's great. Let's see if I can keep at it.
  15. I am listing as much on eBay as possible. The closet is almost empty. Ah the memories. I now own 1 pair sweatpants, 4 work out shorts some t's and a couple dresses. That is it!! Time for a trip to kohls. If anyone interested in size 16-18 see my eBay account for booboostoycloset Have put up the jones ny suits, blouses. The Lane Bryant, The Ralph Lauren and my favorite Burberry jacket. I am going to go cry tears of joy that these all don't fit. And tears of sadness as they are really great clothes that I spent sooo much on. I still owe Lane Bryant $400 or so. Oh my!! Sniff. Yay!! http://m.ebay.com/myebay?actionName=WATCHING
  16. iPhone 5. Every time I post response it freezes and I have to force close the app and restart it. I also see the same topic posted 4 and 5 times in the timeline. It's not duplicate posts just repetitive. Very annoying Not sure what motivation was. Don't like.
  17. I am with lipstick lady completely. Nothing I will miss. I look forward to living life. I don't have lofty goals of jumping out of perfectly good airplanes or bungee jumping. I don't want to learn tennis or scuba or surfing. I just want to live without pills, asthma and the threat of diabetes.
  18. None at all here. You said you had same with lap band how long before it resolved? Maybe you have a sensitive tummy if it happened both times
  19. Google is an amazing thing https://www.wellcare.com/WCAssets/corporate/assets/HS006_Bariatric_Surgery.pdf Call and make sure your specific plan covers it
  20. By the way what are your stats? Are you over a 40 bmi?
  21. Have you called your insurance? I will call them directly and find out what happened and get the correct insurance requirements. Once you know you've met those call the office and find out where they went wrong. Advocate for yourself ! No one will do it for you.
  22. Had surgery June 24 and down 47 pounds. Nothing wrong with you or me. Just a little slower. Do not take those pills. After you stop they will make you a starving lunatic. They work temporarily and then hunger comes raging back in. Not worth it. I am truly shocked he gave you the rx for that
  23. I enjoy Wendy's chili but more often than not I really try to make the go to fast food some sashimi. Think sushi no rice
