I also have blue cross blue shield so I had to pay all the same copays you did. Plus, and this sucked, a 300 program fee to my bariatric office. I was super bummed parting with that $300 but I guess it's worth it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, my surgery is next Wednesday and I want to prepare this weekend by stockpiling some Soups. My question is, how creative did you get with the soups? Can you do a tomato based Soup if it's very thin? I'm just a wondering bc I hear people here saying they drink V8 during the liquids phase so it's kind of similar sounding to me. Any thoughts? I'm going to check out the international foods section of the supermarket for some soups and definitely try the wonton soup without the wontons as someone here suggested. Thanks for your help!

Anybody else get a chest x ray at their pre surgical testing? Mine was today and I was too nervous to ask why. Anybody know why? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is my first post, I've been lurking for over two months, hi everyone! I took a look over at the post op boards and some of what people were saying has me second guessing the amount of time I plan on taking off. I am a teacher and my time off is unpaid. I only planned on taking off one week. Any advice? Am I crazy? TIA Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
