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!!

Hey Jason you gonna try to go to this before the wedding? I only asked off for 1/2 day but I'm sure I could change it...I'll look and see if I have any vacation if not then I better work!

Yippee! Another 4 pounds gone this week.

Thanks Shawna:

I've been reading old posts and according to them, I am suppose to be in "Bandster's Hell" with no restrictions and might gain instead of losing. Well, so far, I am losing, I do feel some restriction at times, and I am thankful for it.

I hope to meet you at group on the 19th.

Hey, anyone tried the Muscle Milk and the Unjury Protein Powder? I am using the Matrix from the hospital but thought I would try others to see if they are better.

I have tried several different ones and they're all gross BUT I havent tried that one...let us know! I've heard the Unjury fruit drinks are AWESOME but you can't get them in stores around here that I've seen you have to buy them offline.

i have tried the muscle milk and its nasty. i like the one walmart sales more then any of them. thats what i use now along with the protein shots.

on a side not i just posted some side by side pics of me from the start to about 4 months ago. and wow, i didnt realize until then i looked like that. it really did hurt me to see that pic of me. i don't know how i even got around at that weight. it make sme realize that the hard time i have nowe losing the last 70-80 ounds is well worth the fight.

roll tide roll:thumbup:

For Dr. Miles - I believe Lisa does the females and Dr. Miles does the males. I am not sure about Dr. Schmitt. Didn't he used to do his own fills?

I am a Schmitt patoent and lisa did the one i have had done

I ask my neighbor about the fills since she is a Dr Schmitt patient. She said that Lisa has done both of hers.

She also suggested that I NOT get the deadening shot. Says it hurts and the fill isn't nearly as bad. Is this correct information?

She drinks Adkins Advantage Shake, twice a day. It has 15g protein, 1g sugar, 1g net carbs, and 2g of Fiber. Said that it has helped regulate her bowel movements. I tried the vanilla flavor and it isn't as good as the Matrix but I can tolerate it in order to get the fiber on a daily basis.
