the docs are concerned about us gaining weight as well so as long as you didnt gain fron that cheat all is well.good luck

how have you done so far??dr.reich is also doing my surgery on jan 20th

HI FOLKS ,WELL HER EI AM AGAIN AS I HAD TO POSTPONE MY OCT SURGERY,MY NEW DATE IS THE 2OTH OF THIS MONTH I.STRTING AT 263 AGAIN AND I WILL START THE PRE OP DIET AGAIN ON THE 12TH.I'M GETTING VERY NERVOUS.I AM ALSO GETTING A PROCEDURE DONE ON MY KNEE ON THE 15TH.TALK TO YOU SOON...

well folks i had to postpone my surgery till january.not a big deal atleast i'll enjoy the holidays.i am down to 255 from 268.the surgery would have been too much had i gotten it done on the 6th,as i would have been in the middle of moving.jan will be here before i know it

thanks guys for your input,and to let you know i havent had surgery yet.just trying to lose a few on my own

hi terry,how much was the 20%?did you have to pay up front?

well,i'm down to 257 from 263.its not much but its something:tt2:

i'm waiting also and just like you its driving me nuts:cursing:we have come this far and it took a while,waiting a little more is aprt of the joiurney i guess.keep your chin up it will happen sooner then you think

well here i sit, still waiting to to see if medicare approved me.i know they will because i have a bmi of 42 with co morbidities.the wait is killing me....everything is in order as far as all the other doctors i had to see.on the other hand i still have to pay 20% of the bill and pray that they will let me make monthly payments.if not i dont know what to do?????:thumbup:

at least your going into this knowing what you may or may not ecpect

day 3 of not having any carbs,down 3 lbs:thumbup:

well as of this morning i am down 3 lbs.will weigh in again tomorrow morn

dont i wish!nope only 3 lbs maybe i should have seperatede it

who care what anyone thinks,its your choice not his!!so dont let it get you down.also,if you did your homework,it specifies that the surgery is not a quick fix,you have to work at it..you'll be fine just stay focused and dont let anyone bring you down:lol:laura

i have a date for oct 6th,but i still need to get approved from medicare. i know that they will pay 80% and i dont know how i will pay the the rest,unless they let me make payments every month,because i only get ssi/disability which isnt much. i'm sure i can work it out somehow.best of luck to you:sad:

i dont know how i did it but i lost 3lbs since yesterday. i always weigh my self in the morn as that is your true weight--i think?:thumbup:

i too live in jersey and it took 2yrs to the day to get awarded my ssi/disability.after you are approved they wait 2more yrs to give you medicare.its abig process.but you'll have to deal with it:glare:

medicare does want precerts done,they include psyhc,gastro,lung,heart and primary doc:eek:

i'm not getting banded until next month,but i am trying to lose before i go on the pre liquid diet

thanks jodie,that said means alot to me

medicare pays 80% so really dont see why not.i'll question it when i go see the nut on the 22nd.

i'm wondering if they will let me make monthly payments as i am on ssi/disability if not i dont know what i will do.

fiber my friend is not a good idea what so ever!!it bulks up and makes you feel full and you wont be able to eat what your suppose to:scared2:

thanks mary,i go to another nut class on the 22nd,as long as i havent gained anything over my last weigh in i should be ok:tongue2:

thanks for that info:thumbup:
