Any other December 20th folks out there?
I'm scheduled for December 20 at 7:30 am at Elmbrook Memorial Hospital in Brookfield WI. I'll be having the lap-band. I think I'm feeling kinda numb about it. Not overly excited, or too worried. Perhaps the nerves will hit after I start the liquid diet on the 6th or as I get closer.
My sister gave me the book "Eating Well after Weight Loss Surgery." The recipes in there seem pretty awesome and provide instructions for each of the types of surgeries, if they are pureeable or not. I'm looking forward to making things and freezing them before surgery so that I'm prepared.
I'm currently with Humana, who has been getting tighter with approvals for WLS, and supposedly will not cover it after 12/31. They approved me in about 5 days after receiving the paperwork. Then I was excited!
