Hello to all.. My surgery date is June 14th.
I also thank god for this site. It is wonderful to have info from members that have had surgery and share rejoices and concerns with all that are waiting.
Using my blog is making it easy to get out how I am feeling.
I am having the RNY and will start my pre-op diet on May 26th
Great to meet you all. Would love to touch base through it all.

Hi there PD, my approval process took about 2-3 weeks and my doctor's office took care of everything! I barely lifted a finger.
I'm feel very positive about the entire thing. I'm a little nervous but reading all these threads on OH has calmed me as well as inspire me. I'm so grateful for this site!!
No, I don't know anyone personally that has done WLS. I'm the biggest person I know within my circle of friends and family.
Totally can't wait to share our stories! I'll be looking for you every once and a while.

Muscle Milk makes a grapefruit protein water that has 60 cal. per serving and 10 grams of protein. It is very mild tasting. It doesn't have "that protein taste". I bought some at GNC on sale for $1.25/ bottle. I think they were regularly $2.25/bottle. Give it a try.

My ObGyn thinks that either has good weight loss. But for people with PCOS who want to get pregnant they have had a better success rate in his office with RNY.

I heard tastes change after surgery - boy do I look forward to that!!!
I am excited for you that your insurance offers total coverage. Mine is supposed to be that as well but I am still waiting for sure that I will have no worries... I attended the pre-surgery seminar last week and it was very informative.
Looking forward to hearing all about your progress!
Happy Thoughts!

HI !
Would love to be surgery date buddies!! I love the kellog's protein shakes but after surgery they say clear liquid protein and I hear they are so nasty tasting.
Glad you are all clear. I have UHC also so I'm hoping I won't have any issues. My doc doesn't think I will but I don't know why I am still waiting to hear........I got all my tests done and I spoke to the insurance company back in Jan and they said it is approved but we will see I guess. So far I am set for June 1st. How long did it take for your approval? Did your doc submit something beforehand? I put a call into the surgery coordinator today to make sure she has not hit any road blocks as of yet but so worried. I am ready mentally for this surgery and if I get stalled by insurance, I will be so upset!
How are you feeling about the whole thing? Do you know anyone personally that has had the procedure?
Looking forward to many good stories! :)

I havent tried them yet, because I hear your taste will change so much after you have your new tummy. My local commissary carries 4 of the Isopure drinks, so I bought one of each to try after surgery.
My insurance is total coverage. We are military and going through a military hospital so I have no cost what so ever. I go for my seminar on Thursday, I'm so excited. You have to have insurance approval before going through the seminar, so it's a relief knowing I can go foward without those worries.

Hi there PD,
I haven't tried very many clear protein drinks yet. I'm on my pre-op diet and am chugging down Kellog's Chocloate Protein Shakes.
Regarding insurance - yes, I have been completely cleared. They actually called me four weeks ago to tell me I was approved, all I had to do was give them my surgery date. I have United Healthcare thru my company.
Let's keep in touch and be surgery date buddies.

RNY vs VSG, I'm totally curious why does your OBGYN recommend RNY?
