Do any of you know if Insurance pays for plastic surgery after you have had gastric bypass? Curious about BCBS. Thanks! Kelli

That's why I have several different ones including soy and egg white in case I become lactose intolerant. I want to make sure I'm ready the day I get home not wait and then not have enough protein in the house. We're in the sticks so I can't run to the store and buy something new. You're mileage may vary. ---jan---

I've read about people testing and buying the protein powders and then hating them after surgery. I was instructed to hold off til after surgery on buying a bunch...

I absolutely will. I can tell you the prep and liquid diet so far are not soooo bad. I'm not even hungry yet. I guess it is all the excitement and anticipation.

Congratulations! It goes by so fast once you have the date. pre-op tests to do, protein powders to try, vitamins to try. Walking to begin. Let us know how you're doing. ---jan--- 3 DAYS!!
