Bariatric journey Multiple procedures Since 2018 Preparing for surgery

  1. I have been approved by my insurance company for surgery, and I am just now waiting for the dr to call me with a surgery date. I know I am getting the band, but wanted to get some advice about also doing the plication. I am 40 years old, and have a starting weight of about 305. Does anyone have any pros and cons of plication you could share with me? I appreciate any help you can share!
  2. I am also with BCBS of NC and was so excited when I heard this last week. I was already 5 months in, but at least now I was able to have jumped through the last hoop, and have my stuff submitted! Now I hope they quickly give the approval so I can start my two week pre-op liquid diet. Anyone else going through BCBS NC that can share how long it took for approval once the dr office submitted final documentation to insurance (everything is done...nut, psych, etc)? I am a teacher, so I am hoping I can have the surgery and have a little time to recuperate before school starts. Thanks!

  4. Here is the link I buy them off amazon as it's so much cheaper http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B002DYIZH6?pc_redir=1404561860&robot_redir=1 But they do have their own website it's Optimum Nutrition Gold Whey 100% in a red and black tub. Their decisions and packed full of goodness! X GRE110... Found these on amazon and trying to decide on a flavor. Do you have a favorite? I am waiting to get the call of approval, and hopefully starting my pre-op liquid diet soon. Thanks!
