Poor Rascal...I have definitely been there...I fought for 7 months with my insurance. Chin up...it will happen, just do EVERYTHING they tell you.:thumbup:

My whole freakin family wants to show up too, Eat2live...I hate it...cause no matter what I say they're just gonna come anyway...Expect em' to sneak up there anyway...sometimes there's nothing we can do to stop them.

Yeah, it doesnt really have to be clear...I found out I can have cranberry juice.:thumbup:

Thank you dahling!!! Have a safe and happy surgery day. And congrats for getting one!!!:crying:

Oh yeah chocolate...:crying::drool::sad: I forgot about chocolate.......Im gonna miss that for sure!!:thumbup: Surgery Friday... wish me luck sweethearts.

I found out it was CLEAR liquids though....no worries...:thumbup:

Thanks so much!!!:thumbup:

Thanks Molly...and Good luck to you as well!!! You are definitely doing the right thing by keeping it between you and trustworthy non blabbers. See you on the other side GF!!

Tomorrow is the day before my surgery.....and I have been so excited I kinda forgot whether Doc said clear liquid or just any liquid the day before surgery....Yes I have called them and left a message, but, they havent returned my call yet. What did you guys do the day before???:confused2:

You're right... God love our mothers, but, they just cant help but dish with their sisters and anyone else they know....lol....We will be alright. In fact God LOVE everyone of us. To hell with the naysaying bastards!!:ohmy:

Me neither, from now on Missy!!!!!!!!....You look beautiful, so if thats a product of hard work + Lap band.....SCREW EVERYONE ELSE!!!:Dancing_wub:

LOL!!!! You are too funny...Maybe I WILL steal a line from you there.:Dancing_wub:

:Dancing_wub: Thanks for everyones replies....Yeah, the bad part is That: IM NOT THE ONE TELLING PEOPLE. lol.....It's momma and hubby and the people who are very supportive of me that tell other people...They are excited for me. So I guess that makes up for all the negative assholes.:thumbup:

Everytime someone new finds out about my lap band surgery, they are always saying things like...."Umm...You knooooow thats not an easy surgery...are you sure you want to go through with it?" Yes you dumb shit...I am 4 days away from surgery. Dont you think I've done my research???? They always act like because I'm fat I must be stupid. One person told me I was taking the "easy" way out. I told her, So what do you care?? I'm not hurting anyone, so piss off!!! Sorry about the language, I'm just venting. You guys are the only normal people in this world.:purplebananna:

Oh crap...unjury is a powder mix...sorry girl!

Asherje.....The only question I can answer is the protein drink question, as I have tried many of them...They make a protein shake version of Slim Fast in the can....and Unjury. Unjury is REALLY good but, pricey...But I guess the slim fast cans are expensive too so...Go to unjury.com...The Chocolate one is the best.:cursing:

Im from Kilgore Texas ...near Longview about an hour and a half from dallas....Im being banded April the 11th...Yippeee:lol::cursing:

My band date is April 11th too!!!!!!!!!! Good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery!!!:cursing:

I voted for you!! You deserve it!!

Wow...truckaholic....you must be really freakin tall!! lol...no offense. (307 lbs...with your bmi being only 40)

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I gained weight too!!! I GAINED 35 LBS WHILE WAITING FOR THIS!!! Horrifying...How much did you gain?? Congrats on your success by the way.

UMR...a branch of United Healthcare

April 11th for me...Congratulations to all.

Yes..I got approved...But it wasnt easy. The hoops I had to go through were.... 1.) A total of 7 of those once a month meetings....(6 months worth) It came out to 7 meeting though. 2.) Had to get on prescribed diet pills that lined up exactly the entire 6 months. (or more) 3.) A letter of medical necessity from the Dr. (easy if you got a cool doc.) 4.) An exercize consult. (Your surgeons office will tell you where to go.) 5.) A nutrition consult. (Your surgeons office will tell you where to go.) 6.) A psychiatric evaluation. (Your surgeons office will tell you where to go.) 7.) Proof of 5 years of morbid obesity. (or if you were at least 35 BMI with other complications.) 8.) Get your Dr. to also document that you have tried various over the counter weight loss methods. 9.) Get all of your records and copy EVERYTHING...For yourself and your Surgeon....Good luck!!

I had to gain about 15 lbs to get to a 40 bmi....:crying: But...it got out of contol and I gained 35 lbs...:thumbup: yikes. Be careful doing this. Fun but dangerous.:wub:
