Late September here. Hoping it can get moved up. ????

I'm not telling.

Praying for healing.

I would not tell him. I think things will be simpler that way. You are going to have enough to deal with without additional pressure from his wife.

This is awesome. I prayed and I'm still praying about this. My surgery is next month. I asked God to give me a clear sign because I can be hard headed. If I had to jump through hoops to get this done then it's not for me versus setting me a clear path. So far it's been a simple and clear path. God is so good.

Once every week, first thing in the morning, nude.

It's awesome. Get the HR.

I wish I was near you. I'd give you the bag of so called "unflavored" Isopure that I just bought. ????

To be honest, this post has me somewhat doubting my decision. I am thinking things through and researching even more now. I think I'm more anxious now.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to go through with it. If I do, it will be private.

I like Yoplait 100 calorie Greek.

I am a cheese lover, too but have noticed I like the lower fat cheeses post-op better than some of the richer ones. I don't restrict my fats but find that I naturally want smaller amounts. Too much and I feel a little woozie.

I prefer softer cheeses lately, but I like the full flavor of horseradish cheddar, truffle gouda, extra hot pepper jack, etc.

Ice cream and cream based Soups run right through me and make me feel like crap but real cheese does not. Weird.

You had me at truffle gouda!

@@Hisbrowneyedgirl I'm going to have to try that. I could probably put my cream cheese and smoked salmon on that.

I was thinking garlic bread also! Also nice to eat with chili I hope!

Now I need to look for that recipe today!

4/6. I'm 5"4.

Love it sometimes. Love/hate other times. But I do it 5x a week.

You guys have great suggestions. I have not been scheduled yet. I have to have a 2nd stress test to be cleared (pray for me). I'm also a stress eater. Stress eating has taken me from a healthy adult weight to where I am now. Since I know what my triggers are, I'm seriously considering counseling. I don't want to be a failure at this. I'm going to keep "bad" food out of the house. I love the suggestion about have a "safe haven" or "retreat." I'm going to do that as well. Thank you for the responses to the OP's questions. They are helping me as well. Be blessed, everyone.

So happy for all of you guys. *hugs*

Wow.

You will do great!

*Ahem*

This post is so full of bullshit, I don't even know where to start.....

No offense to the person who posted this. I make no fun of anyone's opinion. Only you know how you feel.

I just would rather have access to my surgeon if some sort of complication comes up down the road. Otherwise, who do I go to? I mean, my primary doc is great but ...

I'm in Iowa. Texas isn't a terrible distance. Do you have any recommendations or referrals for TX?

After I got done with my pity party ...I called a couple more places here in Iowa. The third place I called is 17K which includes Blis, 2 night hospital stay, and post surgery office visits. The pre-surgery visits {3 of them} run from $180-$220 with a 30% cash discount. Which is nicer than the first place which did not include post surgery visits and their pre-surgery office visits were 150-550 with NO cash discount.

I really LOVE how these places websites say that people 100 pounds or more overweight have a 98% chance of losing that weight without surgery. Making it medically necessary. But then on the phone tell me they offer no health credit or cash discounts because this is 'elective - not necessary surgery' ... maybe that lady was just a jerk.

Dr. Kim and Dr. Nicholson.. Both in DFW and both have the "making surgery affordable" option with the hiatal hernia. Good luck!
