Don't worry about the sour milk that he turned out to be. I kissed alot of frogs before I found my husband 3 years ago and I said he was my Orchid cause I was always searching for a Rose. (that was a song by MICKEY GILLEY) "I OVER LOOKED AN ORCHID WHILE SEARCHING FOR A ROSE." Anyway what I am trying to say is stay in there and stand tall the best is yet to come. take care and good luck:thumbup:

hope you all the luck. my surgery was also moved up from aug 28 to the 21st, got my little cleansing stuff today she said to put in fresca and the one and only time for me to use a straw cause she said it was disgusting stuff to take and i would want to get it down as fast as possible and not to leave the house.:ohmy:

Welcome MaryD, I live in Florence,SC and will have my surgery in Conway,SC, I have to go on a 5 day liquid diet, they said it would shrink my liver and it would let them see before surgery if I can stay on such a rigid diet. I'm a tuff old broad so I think I can do it:lol::teeth_smile:

I have Tricare Prime South also and I had to have PC Dr write a letter to the surgeon requesting the lap band, 2 visits with the nutri, 1 psyh,stress test, 2 visits with the surgeon and the seminar of course, I have diabetes and high blood pressure i am schuduled for Aug 28 so I am sure your husband will be approved shortly, my trip started April 21 when I went to the seminar. good luck and GOD BLESS:thumbup:
