Your body is exhausted from not getting enough sleep before surgery and during your time in the hospital bcuz if all the poking , produng, vitals checks 3 times per 12 hour shift, and all that walking to alleviate gas.

I am not much of a nut fan, but when I am it's Almonds.

I have not tried any yet, but I hope for it to be Atkins if they have my favorite flavor

I wish mine was that soon.

Libby, my start out weight was 171.8 & since that weight last week, I have came to 166.8 and that's not even from trying before my surgery. That was from water loss from diarreah. I hope this does not disqualify me for surgery ad a candidate.

Is your surgery here locally in Chattanooga
-
I am Aetna Select Open Access through my husband's employees Erlanger in Chattanooga,TN

If I may can I ask you if this insurance is through your employer or or spouses & is it Aetna Erlanger? Reason for asking is my husband works for Erlanger here in Chattanooga,TN. and my deductible has been met for 2019.

Hey I am new here. I am sorry that your teeth hurt. Maybe you need you visit your dentist. I have my first consult with the surgeon in August 29th,2019. It will be done at Erlanger Baroness downtown Chattanooga. My insurance deductible has been met, so I hope to get it in by November at the latest depending on what gets done besides meetings before surgery.
