I had polio as a child and my legs are weak and not able to do all the walking required. Is there something else I can do to help with the weight loss?

Hi Kathi. Good luck Friday. I am going tomorrow for my surgery. The liquid diet is lethal. I did get to eat one light meal at night like a lean cuisine. Today, however it is all liquids.

Hi Rhonda, That gives me encouragement. My surgery is tomorrow at 800. I am glad everything worked out for you. I love to hear the positives.

Topic: I'm feelin' fine....3 days out.

I posted on the RNY forum...but folks, I ain't kiddin'! I feel GREAT! Other than being pretty sleepy today, I have been fabulous. Some soreness, but nothing I can't handle! I hope the rest of my journey will go this well!

How about my surgery buddies from Oct 24th?

God will never give you more than you can handle. Lord, am I close?

You will be okay. I know the feeling I am having surgery on the 29th and I am getting very nervous. I will pray for you.

Topic: DFW employers w/WLS on ins plan

I know I asked this same question about a year or so ago but was unable to act on it at that time. Does anybody know of any employers in the DFW area that cover WLS on their insurance plan. Previously I have done Medical & Hospital billing and collections. My resume is posted on careerbuilder and I am seeking a job in a hospital, however, I don't think hospitals hire directly for that anymore, or I have not seen them.

I will try going directly to the hospitals web sites as well. But any information all of you might be able to provide is greatly apprecaited.

I have also done cusomter service work, clerical, I'm sure you get the picture......

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Topic: Any Fellow Prozac-Takers Out There?

Hi everyone - had my surgery on 9/22 and have had a great experience, all except for my usual prozac prescription. Before surgery, I got it in the liquid form, tried it out for a few days, and all seemed fine. However, since surgery, I am having one heck of a time getting that stuff down, it really makes me sick to my stomach. Even thinking about it brings on the sick feeling in my stomach. Has anyone else out there continued taking the capsule form, or opened the capsules and mixed in with something? Any advice would be SO appreciated!

Topic: Follow-up just started Pre-op Diet and I am starving...

Thanks to everyone *****sponded. I have been able to stick to my liquid diet without wavering for the past 10 days. The ravenous hunger has passed. I feel hollow and a bit nauseous, but not that horrible stomach hunger. Food actually makes me a little ill (looking, smelling, cooking).

Thanks again, everyone and to anyone out there struggling. Keep your eyes on the prize and don't give in.

Surgery is Friday, prayers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and God Bless,
