My favorites are Lean Dessert Protein Shakes! They are yummy!! I also ordered some powdered P-nut butter from Bell Plantation and that's great protein to add to milkshakes!

I went to my first seminar in Sept. Finally got ins approval last week. It took lots of calls to the ins co!! I can't get a surgery date until all my test results go back to the Dr.

nutritionist, psch, med records for the last 5 years. Monday I go in for ekg, x-ray, blood work, abdominal ultrasound and upper GI. All this has to be done before I see the surgeon. I just got my ins approval last week.

Dr. Woodman is my Dr. also. I don't have a date yet, waiting on ins approval. Congratulations on having your surgery behind you!!!

Congratulations!!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

Congratulations on getting your date!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

I'm in E TN and still waiting on ins approval. Congratulations on getting your date!! I hope mine comes soon.

Good luck!! Maybe everything will come through quickly!!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations on getting your date!!!

Congratulations on your banding!!!

I wish I had my date but I'm still waiting on ins approval.. slow, slow I've read a lot of posts and I think everyone gets nervous before surgery. I probably will, too. But it will all be worth it to lose the weight and keep it off for the rest of your life. I can't wait to get out of plus size clothes!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't had mine yet so I can't really advise you....but think about it and weigh the good and bad. I think the good will win you over.

Sherry, congratulations on getting a date. I hope it goes smoothly and you be losing soon!!!!:clap2:

Buckeye, Thank you so much. That makes me feel so much better!! I didn't want to ask anyone to stay with me. Now I know I can do it alone!!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2:

Good for you! I'm glad the surgery is over--now your new life can begin!! :clap2::clap2::clap2:

fast or slow--as long as you're losing!!!

I've been on a low fat diet since Sept. I'm still waiting on ins approval but I think I've got a good start! Everything I've read says it helps the liver shrink if you lose weight before surgery.

Buckeye, I'm glad to hear your surgery was easy!! Congratulations!!!! I'm still wondering if I can be alone after coming home from the surgery. Did you have any help or need any????

:clap2::clap2::clap2:Congratulations!!! Maybe I'll be next!!

Congratulations!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

I have an after surgery ??? I live alone and am very independant. Will I be o.k. by myself after surgery? I haven't planned on having anyone staying here with me.

I've gone thru all the process so I guess I'll just pay the 500. I certainly don't want to start over with someone else. I just wish the ins would hurry up and approve it so I can get a date!!

Melissa, .<br /> <br /> Who's doing your surgery? I'm going to Dr Woodman.<br /> <br /> I don't have my date yet but have been on a low fat diet for 3 mos. It's just hurry up and wait, wait, wait. I hope to have a Jan date. I've done all my nutrition and phsyc visits, now just waiting on ins to approve me. I was approved for bypass but now I'm getting the lap band so Ins has to approve this one.

I'm also waiting for ins approval:bored
