We love Texas too. I never felt at home until we moved here. [emoji3590] If you can take your first nutrition class the same day as your appointment get it done! It's a pain and only on Fridays. I haven't done mine yet, I need to get that done lol

That is exactly how I felt when I moved here.

Was that the only requirement. I hope it is the same for me. Is the nutrition class only 1 day? Let me know what day did you schedule yours?

I think mine is scheduled for the 27th of August right now. I want to change it though. If u wanna go together let me know!!

You do have to watch the videos I believe there are 6 and 5 of them you can watch from home after the first one in the office which is the one they only do on Fridays.

Yes he actually sent me some along with a letter and stuff. I am going to try to do it sooner. Like the 20th or so. So I can have more time to watch the videos. I believe the videos start at 1030 and are every hour until 3.

Haha you did better than me. As soon as they cut open I was all NOPE! [emoji23][emoji23] He will ask about it when you see him. He gives warnings on his videos that it gets graphic ahah I thought I could do it. Haha nope. He will check your liver during the visit to like push on the belly. It was nice they even let me bring my fiancé and weren't weird about having two people.

You know I'm not sure. That's all I needed for cash pay was to have the high bmi . I'm new too:) I got to pick my date. I was told dr. Pilcher does surgeries on Tuesdays, if you use him. I'm not sure how different that would be with insurance to be honest.

Welcome!!!! And that is what my insurance told me too. I have my consultation with surgeon on the 6th so I will find out then if there are any requirements. As far as dates.... depends on requirements I think.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
