bsbcMI, the only way to get rewarded with a very fast surgery date is to eat yourself up to 50 and over bmi

and it doesn't matter what or how many co-morbidities you have, you can never get a quicker surgery date, the only thing that matters is exactly how fat you are

I like guacamole as my mayo alternative.

I can get on board with that!

Turkey, bacon, pepper jack and guacamole. My favorite healthy salad/sandwich.

Inequality to samiches.. Got to love it!

I'll agree that is a great sandwich. I've had a few of those during my lifetime.

On the eggface blog, she wraps the avocado and cheese in a turkey slice and grills it till the cheese is melty. Sounds fantastic! Surely a little Irish bacon in there won't hurt.

I'll have to try that before I leave on vacation.

Miracle Whip is barfier!

Everything here ends with food. That's how we all find common ground ( except for that miracle whip ****) and make up

Thank you!!

Yes thank you!! I was sleeved May 16th 2013..i have Hasimoto's which can also make it hard to lose. I have lost 35 pounds so far due to having it under control along with surgery. But i can not say that for me my weight gain was all due to my thyroid....that's why i was just wondering how this surgery would still help you. Congrats and i am glad you have found a solution!! Best of luck!!

I pay $1200 a month for insurance that states right up front - we will not cover bariatric surgery - or any non-surgical weight loss -don't ask

I wish I had insurance that would pay for this - I will pay for my own psych opinion with my psychologist - I have arranged for my PCP to handle any complications after I get home. I may not have to go thru 6 mos. of PCP supervised weight loss, I also don't get to have this surgery in a hospital where I live. Life is not fair - I really get it.

Uh oh! I think I'm going to be in trouble for the "Barfy" comment' date='

I was a joke!!!! Don't yell at me nava... Navymo

Oh whatever you name is!!

Oh navyma![/quote']

Laura-ven I know the difference between jokes and being mean. I THOUGHT this was a support forum, a place to give and get support. I know we are all at different places on our journey & I personally don't see the need for snarky comments or to attack people. It's nasty, uncalled for and just plain RUDE. I've seen it happen quite a few times on here.

Lauraven, I choose the name Navyma bc Navymom was taken and my son is active duty serving overseas, I haven't seen him for over a year & a half and he's 4th generation Navy on MY side (including myself). So maybe the background info can help you remember my screen name.

I like to slice up some avocado, put fresh lime juice on it, add salt and pepper, and put it on top of my black beans that have already been warmed with melted cheese--and then top it all with plain Greek yogurt. One of my favorite go-to meals. I like fresh avocado even better than guacamole....

Ladies all this talk of guac and beans is making me so hungry here in pre-op diet land >_<... 5 days to go until surgery!

I'm so sorry for you that you pay so much a month and it's not covered! That is pure injustice!

That's less than what we pay and we don't have any more kids at home. We pay 750 and our employer pays 750.. It's hard to do, but it's a have to thing in life
