Chellets

It came today as promised. I tried the chicken soup flavor and.... I really liked it! It may be because I have been on Opti-fast for 5 days, so anything not sweet would be good right now. I will let you know what I think about the unflavored as soon as I try it. As of now, I would reorder the chicken.

Thanks everyone! I ordered the unflavored and chicken soup yesterday afternoon and I got a tracking email that said it will be here tomorrow! So now I know I will get it in time, but will I like it? We shall soon see- I'll let ya know! -Chelle

Thank you!

I just ordered some Unjury from their web-site and I couldn't find any shipping info. My surgery is on Monday the 14th and I live in Indiana. How long did it take to get yours? I will be on clear liquids for awhile and I will need the unflavored by Tuesday. Should I find something else to get me by, or do you think it will make it here in time? Thanks for the help! -Chelle

I don't know if they are all the same, but I have BCBS FEP (basic) in Indiana and I just have to pay a $40 co-pay total for an out-patient lap-band.

You may want to ask your insurance how long it takes to get approval. Mine told me 21 days, so I called on day 7 or so and they had already mailed my paperwork. I have always heard the squeaky wheel gets the oil- let them hear ya! Good luck!

Please post about you surgery day! I love to read those!

I'm from Fort Wayne, IN, am a SAHM of 2 boys ages 8 and 5, and have been married for almost 10 years. I was always overweight and larger than most of my peers while in school and gained steadily after getting married. I always told myself "I can lose the weight, I just need to do it before I turn 30, it will get much harder then." Well I am now 31 and as hard as I tried, I never lost much on my own. I am really excited about this opportunity I have been given and I plan to make the most of it! I have a 1 week opti-fast diet and will be banded on July 14th! It is really great to meet all of you and I look forward to going on this journey together. Dream it, believe it, work it, achieve it!

I wouldn't go so far as to call this offensive, but I do have to ask- What is the point and what does it matter to you?:confused2: I may be way off here, but when I read this "rant" I got the impression the OP doesn't feel like lower BMI's deserve WLS. I am very unhappy with my weight as it is now and thank God every day for the fact I didn't wait to be 300 or 400 plus pounds. I am so excited for all of us here, this choice we have made and the opportunity we will hopefully all be given to make our lives better in some ways. Like someone else said before- Live and let live!

Do a search of this topic on the forum. There are several threads on this topic. Good luck to you!

Has anyone used the jucier that can come with the bullet?

I have also heard the those stats are from the US FDA trials several years ago. The placement of the band is now better and the Drs. know a lot more than they used to. I bet the numbers would look better today.

That is wonderful news! As far as insurance goes, I have had no problems with BCBS FEP. I hope it goes as smoothly for you! Please keep us up on your progress!

Way to go! 10 pounds in 3 weeks is great! I hope you find continued success in the method that is most comfortable for you! Keep up the good work!

That's too bad pennyllane. Yes, things can and do go wrong for a few people, but if you read this site and nation wide stats, I think you will find that the vast majority of people have found great success. I can't wait to be one of them!!! Good luck in your decision!
