Hello all HELP!!!!! I am pre op papers submitted to insurance BCBS of New Jersey yesterday. I selected Dr Marymore of Barix but wondered if anyone used him or the Barix facility and what you thought. I think I'm getting nervous and just want to make sure I have a great surgeon.

What kind of shakes are you all using? I tried Unjury but I hate the taste :/.

Hi all. I had surgery in 2/27 and live in Newtown. I met with dr marymor and liked him ok but then had an appointment with dr Eric Edwards at st Mary's. he was amazing!!! I would highly encourage you to at least meet with him.

I work for the state of nj and also have bcbs of nj and the covered everything. After surgery, I received my explanation of benefits and surgery costed -- ready for this--- 57,000 dollars and I paid ---$15. Sooo thankful for insurance but would have paid out if pocket as this surgery has saved my life.

Didn't use this sic but live and work near y'all so I wanted to say hi!

Oh man wish I knew this earlier. I'm happy with Marymore at this point I'm 10 days away from surgery so couldn't do it anyway.

Can you say nervous? I am five yards past nervous. Surgery is 12:15 tomorrow. I keep looking at myself in the mirror wondering what it will feel like to look different. I can't believe this is really happening. Omg

Nervous is normal I think. Wow in 24 hours your new life begins. Someone is coming up with you? By the way They don't allow overnight guests.

Alicia...where do you have surgery?

I am going by myself but my husband and bringing my car. My husband will pick me up.

You can do it!!!!! You will be so out if it. When I took a tour of the recovery room I saw a woman walking 4 hours after surgery. She looked tired but said she felt great!

On the liquid diet I went down a size. I freaked out when some of my clothes were too big. I can't imagine what I will do when I can't fit anything. Whenever I'm anxious I usually shop for clothes and I can't do that now.

That's great down a size. I'm on day three and its tough. Others are allowed food but just liquids is getting to me. How did you do it.

Always crack up over the "Wood-Johnson" thing, if you know what I mean

I didn't know they had a program....cool!

I cheated... Lol. The key is only lean protein for one meal. So I did skinless baked chicken. One meat ball no sauce. Look at it as if you were on medifast or slimfast for ten days. My shake is also really good. Although I am sure after four more weeks I will never want a strawberry or vanilla shake ever again.
