    ???? red tape!

    Hang in there. Your doctor office should have a barometric insurance specialist. Her job is to help you get approved. I have heard of people personally writing insurance. Keep pushing for yourself and a better life. Don't give up. I have felt defeated with the red tape but I can see the light at end of tunnel. Every now in then...lol Where you from?
  3. Lord I as you settle these nerves and be with every medical personal that will be apart of their hospital stay. We ask in your precious name..amen
  4. The funny part is my husband and I both are having surgery....I was going first and he has done got appointment to set surgery..... Go figure
  5. Your body is just in shock from the diet change. Your mind is in overload, if you can just rest today and make your self a to do list for tomorrow ( if list work for you) I have done all the perquisite for surgery just waiting on appointment to go in and schedule surgery. I have had a day like you are talking about last week. Mine is the waiting.....it's driving me crazy. I keep praying and I know God is with me on this and it will happen in his timing not mine. I was hoping for surgery the last of this month but with doctor vacation, and a few other bumps in the road looking like end of August if not September

  8. I have got insurance approved done beginner class, passed physical assessment. Now waiting on surgery date. It has been a ride my regular doctor didn't send medical records, surgeon took vacation. guess God wanted me to wait this out and make sure of what I was doing.

    Anyone start pre-op diet early?

    My doctor said not to start early reason being at the 10 day Mark your liver is as small as it is going to get. That any days over that your body starts adjusting and liver size will increase.
  11. Ignorance is blis!!! When people don't understand that some people have medical issues that cause them from loosing weight. Keep your eye on the prize. Being a healthier happy mom for your children.

    Grocery shopping!

    Life water is good-- I feel your pain I am addicted to caffeine myself I got decaf tea and been doing 1/2 & 1/2 going to do that 2 weeks then straight to decaf. caffeine withdrawals are no joke. Hang in there. I am still waiting on surgery date. So this is all new. But a suggestion make a menu of what you are going to cook for your family. Maybe cook ahead and freeze so after surgery you cam just pull out and heat. I think writing out what I am going to eat each day while on pre surgery diet will help me. Good luck????????
