Thanks Bandfan! Yes, the doc wants me to lose 15 before the surgery. To get in the mind frame and see if I'm serious and ready for this. Also, I think it makes surgery easier with a little less belly fat. He's got an excellent track record so I guess I'll listen. I've been trying to follow a diet plan he gave me but I find myself starving by late afternoon. Thanks for the advice--I will try to get more Protein in.
Two weeks post op, so how are you feeling? I hope you're having a speedy recovery and feel great.
Insurance is a joke. It doesn't make a bit of sense. We pay a big premium and have a high deductible. I was upset but not really surprised. All the money in premiums, I could've paid for my surgery in a year. I've thought about dropping our health insurance but our accountant said we need to carry something. We've got too much to lose (farmground and equipment) if something serious ever happened, and he says they'd take it all. I can't really switch insurance at the weight I'm at now--I'm sure they'd nail me even more. I'm about 60 lbs. heavier now than when we took the policy out, 90 if you consider what weight the agent put on my app.
