OH WOW - 7/17/07 !!!!!!!!

I am so excited !!!!!

Dr's Office called right now and wanted to know how i was on my appointments - Told them where i was at and she said all she needed was my shrink visit which is tomorrow and she would submit adn should have approval within a week (BC CA covers WLS as long as it's at a Bariatric Center of Excellent which Desert Regonial is)

Tenative Date (Gotta pass the shrink exam tomorrow)

But it's a date YEAH YEAH YEAH - :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Congratulations! I am having my surgery on the 28th of June and I am both excited and nervous at the same time. I started my protein shakes today. Had one for breakfast and then couldn't have anything again until lunch. I was starving! I'm allowed lean meat, all the green veggies I want and a cup of fruit (not bananas). I ate chicken and lettuce. I was going to save my fruit until later in the afternoon so I could space it out and make it through the day... But I guess I waited to late to eat lunch because I was still hungry afterwards. I ate the fruit (with low carb yogurt). I still have my green beans... I think I can hold off on those until later. Another protein shake when I get home from work and then dinner (or vice-versa).

Thanks.. Just got back from shrink visit - went ok... She said that I was ok for surgery (ha ha fooled her :0)...

I guess i will start my pre-op diet after my pre-op visit on 7/6 - so that will be only 10 days and not a full 2 week - YAAAA...

I don't know yet if it only shakes or if i get food too.. Hope to get food too cuz i don't like sweets for breakfast lunch dinner...

Good Luck....

Congrats to you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks Harley Girl

I should have approval by Friday ... I am lucky that my insurance doesn't hassle you and gives approval quickly - I don't think that i would be doing this if i had to be on a 6 month supervised diet - If i could then why the band -- I need help..... Don't they get it - if we could do it by oursleves we would... Don't they know that we don't want this - we want to be normal too.. (they = Insurance Co)
