I was just looking through to see what might be wrong with me. I think maybe I have this problem... Did the small portions work for you? I was doing OK but then lately I think I've been eating too much. And now I'm noticing that I feel like there is somethig at the base of my throat... and reflux at night. Makes me not want to lie flat. I'm going to go on slimfast for a week and see if that helps.

I was denied at first too. I waited 6 months and applied again - going through all the other possible co-morbidities like sleep apnea, things I hadn't been checked for before. It was so frustrating because the denied me because of lack of comorbidities too.... I was like.. let's get this done and PREVENT those additional problems! Ah well, after the reapply I was approved and went right in. Very glad I waited to reapply instead of paying out of pocket but if I hadn't been approved that 2nd time then I would have cash payed. Hang in there. I hope you find a solution before your hubby comes back or that you are so pleasantly surprised by how much he loves and wants you in any body. :cry_smile:

I'm early in this process and still focused on the pre-op diet but my friend had it several months ago and I remember her favorite soup is tomatoe and I know she ate it during the liquid (not clear, but next step) phase. Congrats!:thumbup:

I just got the pre-approval from insurance (so thankful I get some help with the cost) and I hope I'll have a surgery date in the next 2 or 3 weeks. I am hoping for 2 weeks because I will be traveling in 6 weeks and I'd like to feel pretty good on that trip. I do have a few questions but I'm not sure if this is correct or if I should post them seperately: 1) how soon after surgery would you feel like taking a plane ride with 3 kids age 5 and under? 2) I work from home, full-time, sitting at a desk. Do I really need to take a week off or do you think a couple of days might be OK, giving myself plenty of breaks and naps? Looking forward to more searches throughout the site and having this community for support!:frown:
