Had my surgery on Sept. 16th and had my first fill today (10/27). Perfect, right before Halloween. No candy for me. LOL

Well, I'm 6 days post op and just ate my first real food, a yummy and delicious scrambled egg. Wow, that's the best scrambled egg I've ever had. I just had to have something with texture so that was the next best thing. What did everyone here eat a week post op? Just trying to get some ideas. I feel great so far. No problems whatsoever. I'm drinking 2-3 Muscle Milks I bought from Costco. Each has 20 grams of protein. Plus I've had some different soups. What else can I try??? Thanks!

So Holly called me this morning and moved my surgery up to 1 pm on Wednesday instead of 5 pm. YAY! The sooner the better. Are you staying the night in the hospital? I'm planning on it. I'm soooooo nervous!!!!!

Add me to the Sept. list! Just found out I was approved yesterday and am set for surgery on the 15th. I'm so excited.

Yes, I'm really excited but also nervous at the same time. I have been talking to another girl who is having the surgery with the same doctor on the same day, one hour before me. It's so very surreal! Less than a week to go. Am I supposed to be preparing myself somehow?

HAHAHA! Mine is scheduled at 5pm, right after you! How funny is that?!?!?! OMG, I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. OK, so my pre-op appt is on the 15th and I also have the nutritional orientation from 1-3 that same day. When is yours?

Nevermind! Just found out Tricare approved me after all. They called my drs. office and said that they denied me because they didn't receive all the clinicals in my paperwork. The receptionist said that she then faxed them about 6 times because it wasn't going through. So today I checked the Tricare website and now I'm approved!!! I'm soo excited!

Well, just found out I'm approved!!!! I guess my insurance hadn't received all my paperwork so they denied it yesterday only to get the paperwork and approve it today!!! Holly is scheduling my surgery now! YIPPEEE!!!

Oh man, I can't wait to get it done. I wanna feel like that! UGH!

I've heard that too. Thanks for the encouraging words. So, it looks like you'll have the surgery first. Then you can tell me ALL about it. I bet you are getting so excited...

That's not long at all. I have Tricare....

She said the same thing. She said she'd fight for me. Man I hope so. I'm so desperate right now. So you were denied at first? How long did it take for them to approve?

Just found out this morning that I was denied. My denial letter was faxed to BB and it said that I wasn't heavy enough. But the next line said I was 108 pounds overweight which meets my insurance criteria so I'm not sure what's going on. I'm waiting for Holly to contact them to get the ball rolling.

After talking to my drs. office since Tricare faxed them the denial letter, I learned that I'm just not heavy enough. Sooo, what the heck. It said on there that I'm 108 pounds overweight...on the Tricare form! Plus I have high cholesterol and a "fatty liver." I'm just upset at the whole thing. If I'm "underweight" it would be easier for me to gain what I need to have the surgery than it would be to lose over 100 pounds on my own. Frankly, that would just never happen. Just waiting for the denial letter to get to me so I can figure out what I need to do next.

Just found out this morning that I was denied. CRAP! Now I have to wait for the denial letter before I can do anything. This just sucks.
