Can any of Dr. Miles or Schmitt's patients help me with a few questions I have? I have BCBS of AL PPO.

How much where you required to pay upfront? (with insurance)

What was the PREop requirement? (liquids for so many days etc?

What is the POSTop requirement? (liquids so many days, mushies.. etc)

I think that's all for now. We have a couple of vacations coming up and I would like to have a heads up on the money so I don't spend it on vacation lol and food requirements..... same.. need to be sure vacation goes along with them.

Thanks!!

Hi all, sorry it took so long to get back on. It was great to finally put faces with names. I must have finally found a food intolerance. We ate at Cracker Barrell after the meeting and I guess the fatty food didnt agree with me. I had serious stomach cramps, like the stomach flu. It was terrible, I wont overindulge again! I never vomited, but was praying too. Is this what they are talking about (intolerances)? I still felt so bad, I had to do liquids Sunday, and I ate a few bites today. What do yall think? thanks for all the help and support everyone! Amanda

Hi, all! I am new here. I was so excited to find a Miles and Schmitt thread. I was banded by Dr. Miles on 4/29/2009. I haven't been able to attend many support group meetings (I live in Jasper, and have two little ones). It is so encouraging to read some of your posts:) I am thrilled to find an online community.

well let me be the first to welcome you to the family here. we are growing everyday.

so how have you been doing since you had the surgery? and check out the meet and greet to. we would love to have you come and join us.

Thanks for the welcome :thumbup: So far so good since surgery. I don't feel like I have reached restriction yet (I've only had two fills). Other than that, I feel great. I read about the meet and greet and I appreciate the invite, but I had already made plans for that day. It is my 11th wedding anniversary. I hope to make the next one.

OK- so I've googled it and can't seem to find the answer. I'm a nurse so I know its gotta mean Im deficient in something but (and I may have mentioned this on here b4) I'm going thru this thing of CRAVING milk again! For breakfast I had 2 glasses for lunch I had 2 glasses for dinner I ate my grilled chicken and then an hour later I got me another glass of milk! Luckily I only buy fat free and Im still under 1000 cals for the day but good gried I wanna go get another glass right now...I did this about 4 months ago I guess I went 2-3 weeks where all i wanted was milk......SO any ideas? LOL!

i think you are just feeling a spot where you would be eatting something like candy. the milk taste good and is sweet and its amking you want more because its the only sweet think you are eatting. so in a few words its just in your head. :crying: so enjoy the milk and be glad its just fat free milk and not candy or cake.

myself i been having a proble here.:smile2: i fell back into an old bad problem of eatting. and i just notice it tonight. so i got to stop and try to fix it. its been so busy the last few days around i been eatting the bad stuff. and to much of it at that.

i jsut wanted to say ya'll are all an inspiration to me to show me where i can go with this. so jason dont let it get you down to bad.

Hey everybody! I've missed checking in on everyone but so glad I did today. I had forgotten about the meet and greet! I would have been so upset to have missed it. Sure has been crazy around here. We had three house guests from Germany stay with us for a week and finals for me. So for the first time since surgery, I didn't eat so well. Sure doesn't take much to get off track, does it? But now I'm focused and ready to get back to work! Great reading up on everyone's posts and welcome to the group Jennifer!
