  1. I love to read, I am always looking for information before I do something like this. So my mom one day was reading the newspaper and in the last page I SAW THE ADD!!! And now, my surgery will be 01/12!!!! I can wait to be at the hospital!
  2. Nop... Creekimp13, my doctor never talked to me about it, and when I told her about the surgery she was not too happy. Also, when I come back to give her the sample letter for medical necessities, she told me that she would write the letter but I wouldn’t qualify for the surgery. So, for her I am wasting my time...
  3. You will be fine!!!! God bless you!!! Keep us updated!!!
  4. I don’t see why not to tell people about the surgery!!! I have been overweight all my life, and my doctor NEVER told me about the surgery.... she always talked to me about my weight and how bad that is for my health, but she NEVER EVER mention the option of the surgery... Si I think you should tell people because someone may be looking for help or solution for the problem (weight). And how GREAT is the feeling of help others...
  5. Hi!!! Well, I had the same question days ago, and most of the people said: Premier Brand, and looks affordable. https://shop.premierprotein.com/Premier-Protein-Chocolate-100-Whey-Powder-/p/PREM-715887&c=PremierProtein@Powders But to be honest I still looking for a good flavor, because my surgery is scheduled on 01/18
  6. What I don’t understand is... why they give me a day when the haven’t send my case !!!!

  8. Ok, my surgery is suppose to be 01/18.... I already buy some of the things that I will need for my new life! But, today I send an email to the surgery coordinator and she said that today she started working on the patients of 01/08, she hasn’t even start with my case!!! And I already have the day for my surgery!!!!! That means they can denie my surgery.... Am worry, my BMI is 44. You guys think that insurance can denie my case???? Am so nervous.....
