How about Miso Soups for a flavor change in liquid? If it has little bits of tofu and seaweed just advoid those parts. I thought of it when I saw wonton soup.

I went to a mini seminar today and a one on one consult... I knew I was just shy of the 40 BMI so I added 4lb to myself and slouched a little which shaved an inch of my height.... I am PROUD to say I am 41.6 BMI (never dreamed I would say that!) and my insurance covers my surgery! whOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO I was so happy I cried while driving home! Best Spent "Lie" of a lifetime!

I have Aetna choice pos II I had the consult today, and psych eval.... I have to do 3 months with nutritional advisement... i was weighed in today at 41.6 BMI. Basically they told me don't worry about the 3 months today counts as one month... and i did ask if I gain or lose does it matter, they said it did not. I can move ahead and schedule my other tests all in one day . Hope this Helps I am so excited I am going to get my life back!!!!!

How about miso? and for your to chew... sugarfree gum to occupy yourself..... i am not banded at this time i have a consultation tomorrow morning... i am just brainstorming , being creative perhaps. ;o)

I just looked at my card and I have Aetna Choice POS II does anyone have experience with that facet? I did the prequalify on the phone and they said I have great coverage... I have a consult on Thurs and I am nervous... I also realized I am an inch shorter than what I told them on the phone so my BMI is just squeakin' over 40 Insight anyone???

my understanding from what I have read so far is the reason you drink before a meal and not during and then wait until an hour or so after a meal and just sip Water is so that the food is not "washed" from the pouch into the stomach too quickly thus creating a longer full sensation and the well chewed food slowly trickles through your system. hope that helps and if anyone knows different by all means correct me! thanks

Consultation Thur 5/7/09 permalink I have been lurking forever perhaps years.... Wanting to have the surgery but chicken.... Now.... I am 41 with 2 kids 8 and 11... I am just over 40 BMI Hypo Thyroid Meds... High Cholesterol but the good is high too. I have been seriously battling my weight for about 16 yrs and I am currently heavier than I was 9 months pregnant with my oldest. It has really taken its toll on my health , joints, and mental state. I have Aetna , Managed Choice, I have heard that my coverage is really good. Hoping and praying this will go off without a hitch. I don't want to jump through hoops, but i will if I have too. I have some degernerative disk disease in my lower back so my Chiro wrote me a letter stating that significant weight loss would improve my well being etc. Wish me luck if you have any insight on how all this will play out please let me in on it...... thanks in advance Lor
