    I got my surgery date!!

    Excited does not even begin to explaine it!! I started drinking the shakes durning the day. Eating a normal dinner at night. I have 2 weeks before I need to start the liquid diet but I thought I would get into a groove with it.

    Anyone out there?!!?

    39 more days!! i can not wait!! We have to come up with a cool December banster name! :thumbup:
  3. I had all my appointment in one day! I had to travel far to get to my doctor. the Surgeon's off help me set up appointments the next day. i had upper GI, then went to physician for EKG and check up, then had meeting with dietitian, then meet with fitness person, THEN had the physic appointment. I got my surgery date that day too. The date was penciled in just in case there was a problem but it is firm now. the only thing I needed to do when I got home was have lab work done and a chest xray. The staff also set me up with an on line seminar that i was able to log on to. I did all this Oct 18th and 19th. I am having surgery on December 8th. That is a day that I picked out because i have a long way to travel to get there! It will be my Christmas present to myself!:thumbup:

    Question

    I have fed BCBS and so far I am about $600 out of pocket that was for all appointments. $220 was for dietitian, $230 for head doctor. the rest was co-pays. i have to pay around $1500 to the hospital at time of the surgery. So I guess I will eventually be out of pocket about $2000. To me worth every penny!!:laugh:

    To drink or not to drink!!??

    Thanks for the input! I am OK with the change in lifestyle as far as foods goes, and i am ready to start that change! BUT I was scared about giving up my wine! And I love girls night out! I might miss a few girls night out BUT that is OK! i guess like anything, in moderation it is OK! :thumbup:
