  1. I know what you mean by not feeling satisfied/full
  2. I'm curious about this to, as I am the one that'll be cooking ????
  3. I do have an appointment seminar wise January 12th with carolina's medical center people. It's not at hospital though. And I noticed the same web page pop up when I looked your guy up..
  4. I'm so appreciative of your information, I'm still at the very beginning of this process and haven't even met with him yet.. My appointment with him isn't until February 6th ???? I'd really love to get in sooner but he's booked.. I'm taking that as a good sign lol.. I'll have to check your guy out and see if maybe I could get in sooner.. One convenience is I could do the seminar online.. I have a busy schedule with a 4yr old son and running my small salon business.. So that was super nice to just be able to make an appointment with him.. Does your doc have online seminar?
  5. Has anybody received their bypass from Dr Voellinger in Charlotte NC? If so what was your experience like? And how successful was your pre/post journey? Thanks in advance
  6. I'm so sorry you had to deal with this, but so glad to know that I need to specify why I need them..
  7. Gosh I hope I get a Doctor like that lol
  8. Good luck with your surgery Thursday ???? and I sure hope my doc gives me the same directions lol . The whole liquid diet thing for two and three weeks before is very intimidating ???? grant it, I know after surgery it'll be like that for a bit, but with procedure done I won't be hungry lol
  9. I sure hope this isn't a typical response from psych docs with this process!!!! Do you have to tell these docs what you are there for for them to give correct response? Good luck to you in getting your papers ????????
  10. I'm Jaysen, hi everyone!!!! So glad to have found this forum as I begin this change in my life.. I'm waiting to get my new ID card from my new BCBS insurance company, so nothing in the works yet with a plan on getting skinny LOL the surgeons first available appointment isn't until February 6th so I guess I'll just keep reading all of your trials and tribulations ???? I'm definitely reading tons and researching all I can find. Any advice that can be given please feel free to give ???? I really appreciate it.. Question- someone I know who's in her 2 year of having had RNY mentioned to me that I should act like everything is fine in psych evaluation, so I don't have to go through any major appointments with them. Now I know I've got to tell the truth and let the Doctors do their jobs with evaluation, but does anyone wish they'd said or done anything different to make surgery happen faster? If even possible of course.. I guess ultimately I don't need to skip over anything cause I obviously need the help!!!!
  11. And by the way I'm so new here I don't even know how to friend anyone on here so if you can school me I'd be appreciative ????
  12. Hopefully it goes as perfectly as you want it to, I'm already worrying about things and I've not even been to a doctor yet... So I feel ya lol
  13. I almost bought the Dummies book last night but chose the Big Book first... Sounds like I've got some good reading ahead of me.... I appreciate your advice... And good luck with all of your editing ????????
  14. I'm just beginning as well, but my Doc can't see me until February 6th ???? I wish you all the best and good luck tomorrow ✌️ I'm Jaysen by the way...
  15. Curiously, what other books would you recommend? I'm still at very beginning of process and can't get into surgeon until February 6th .. So I'm in phase of gathering all info I can get my hands on....
  16. I sure hope they don't fight me as well ... Thanks for input...
  17. You sound great ???? I literally just read that part of the book last night... I'm a newbie and in the beginning stages of this journey.
  18. I know there were some revisions made with BCBS of North Carolina earlier this year so I'm not sure how current this info on the Google search was!! Paperwork should be here next week sometime!!!
  19. Thanks ???? I was thinking that was the most obvious answer. I just wish my new ID cards would hurry up and get here so I can give that info to coordinater. Or whatever they are called lol...
  20. And if I'm in the wrong section posting this please someone tell me ????????
