  1. I think I left it on while making dinner for hubby She got pregnant and dropped out right? Really hate these shows
  2. I was told the body can only absorb about 40 at a time is that not the case?
  3. I was 39.5 and didn't gain or lose in that time My stuff was sent in - with some missing info- and they rejected first time Make sure you get three visits - one a month in GREATER THAN or equal to 89 days or you risk rejection/delay Other than that it was ok no issue.
  4. Picked up a sample at whole foods this weeken and thought is share. Had for lunch today with almond milk and yum!
  5. What do you mean by how we throw up? Haven't been sleeved yet and I detest throwing up now and praying I won't after. I can deal with nausea not throwing up
  6. Am a month out and nervous as heck
  7. Maybe I read this differently than everyone else I don't think what she said was so horrendously bad. Yes she's coming from a place where she thinks that this is a cure and it isn't But she's also coming from a place where she has suffered an eating disorder and is happy where she is today. She considers your decision a validation of the wasting disorder. Misplaced yes many of her rants are on her blog But can I say that you are both losing a friend or choosing to end friendship for valid reasons. Both of you for health reasons. Yours physical hers for mental and emotional reasons. It's ok to have a friendship end. It's sad and I am so sorry it has happened but it is what it is. She likes being a large woman and it seems like she has worked hard to get herself into the mental place she is at. We shouldn't hate or judge her either
  8. June 24 in north jersey 2 week pre op diet of 2 shakes and liquids and one lean meal a day I am easing into that by starting now with leaner meals then replacing lunch with a shake then ease further and further. The anxiety is heaviest when I am home and not working like today. When I am working I can manage to distract myself
  9. That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. You should've asked for that in writing and appealed it
  10. I wouldn't panic I'd ask lots of questions of your insurance. Ie how much deductible you've met, maximum out of pocket etc. Get educated on the financials and you'll be fine
  11. I am sorry to hear this. Is there another center in a bordering state ? If not you might want to have a conversation with Cigna to see if they have options for you such as a hospital local to you that may be affiliated with the other facility Good luck
  12. Nancy I think you're wonderful. I think you're a tough lady and will be just fine and a much healthier you. I hope you boyfriend appreciates and loves you for trying to be a healthier version of you so you can have many more years together. Good luck and I hope you return with progress updates!
  13. They make those little snack packs and they have a little bite about 1 inch square. Have those
  14. My doc has already given me the liquid Tylenol 3 in preparation. Can you get that?
  15. Am in Bergen county and doing it at the valley hospitalOrigin surgeon was dr Schrope but she's not pat with my plan. So now dr bessler They also operate at NY PResby/Columbia
  16. I have Cigna and took longer than it should have since the insurance administrator submitted before having everything she needed together
  17. Did you get a receipt? I'd call hospital immediately. Or did you pay the doctor? If so he isn't going to give the hospital ant money
  18. That's exactly what I started doing. Modified the diet now to prepare. It's been an ok two days
  19. Good luck. Positive thoughts headed your way
  20. You should have this back by now. Hope you got approved!
  21. Most insurances are through an employer policy Many employer based policies are self - funded and under the ERISA laws are able to cover and not cover whatever they want The insurance offers a cafeteria style plan or Buffett if you prefer, and employer picks the meal he wants to buy. He choose not to purchase wls He could also choose not to cover chiros or acupuncture if they so choose Ppaca/obamacare plans are required to offer a complement of minimal coverage. You can always purchase one, confirm it covers wls, and use it as your secondary plan to pick up the costs.
  22. You should call them or go online to determine who the approved surgeons are. They have a list and then you can just call each kne to see who has availability
  23. I let the nerves begin !
