  5. I had my first appointment with surgeon on 1/7/16 and had surgery on 3/7/16. So in two months I completed a battery of tests, X-rays, evals, etc. but I was extremely driven to get things done quickly. Also I was lucky insurance did not require a lengthly supervised diet. One month post op and lost 24 lbs since surgery, so thrilled!
  6. Thanks for the post and motivation! I'm on day 5 and lost control; I'm back on track for last 7 days before surgery. [emoji56]

  10. Unfortunately I had the same issue! I had to have a sleep study. Usually sleep apnea is the key.
  11. I'm March 7th also ????????????????????????
  12. I tried Caribbean Cooler flavor yesterday and it tastes like a Piña Colada! My favorite so far!

  19. HI, I just had my sleep study even though I didn't feel as though I have sleep apnea. I haven't got he results yet. Did you feel like you had it? Just curious since I need it for my comorbidity. Sharon
  20. Yikes! Reposted our posts.... Lol Thanks for the info! I love this site!
  21. I was surprised to find out that I have to pay all my co-pays, deductables and out of pocket expenses up front to the surgeon's office prior to surgery. The surgeon's office states because this is considered an elective surgery. I'm not sure if this is an insurance rule or surgeon's rule but good to know since my fee's will be several thousand dollars. yikes!
  22. Thank you all for your suggestions. I appreciate this forum, the support is incredible ????
  23. I like the suggestions so far, I'm taking them all in so I'm ready for the next DD. Thanks ????
  24. Thanks for all of the great information! I'm looking forward to getting a surgery date soon ????
