Topic: RE: After 3 years
Hi Gina,
I am so happy to hear that after three years your HMO is finally thinking straight.
There is no need to be afraid. I wasn't either. There is absolutely no reason to feel afraid at all. I am excited for you. Keep me posted!

Topic: RE: After 3 years
Hi Rebec, it was and has been and will continue to be an amazing journey. My ins. here in NV. is Pacificare HMO. It seems that they changed the rules everytime my policy renewed and everytime I was in the eleventh hour. Finally this year I said uh uh! Thank goodness, I am so excited about my surgery next Wed. I am not even afraid. I feel so blessed that I will be able to have great health and a second chance at a normal and completely functional life. Thank goodness. Wishing you the best as well. Have a great day! Gina

Topic: RE: pre op diet
Hello! My surgery is also the 30th, for Lap-Band and this post is the first I've heard about a "2-week pre-op diet." I'm shocked. My surgeon has never mentioned it. I guess effective immediately, no carbs. But what else is everyone doing/not doing as part of the prep?? Please give any advice/suggestions.
Thanks a bunch!!
Debbie

Kathy, my surgery is tomorrow. I had to do 2 weeks liquids only diet. If you find a great protein drink, just stick with that, because it makes your cravings for food to go away. It's the carbs that make you hungry. Good luck!
