Topic: RE: Ikea Swedish smorgasbord

No...i've moved to 'soft foods.'

Basic diet now is deli meat and cheese, chili, tuna salad, eggs. holding off for a while til i get to 'real food.'

i am already surprising me just how much i can eat though (although the portions are much smaller than before. (e.g. 1/2 cup of chili fills me up).

All you can eat is nothing like pre-op, for sure. One plate will probably be "all I can eat". But I really like Ikea's restaurant, and it's a good price. Are you still on liquids? I was the first 6 weeks, but give it some time and you'll be surprised.

Sounds fun...strange though that "All you can eat" used to mean something much different than it does now!

Ikea is having their Holiday buffet event this Friday, Dec 10 6:00pm - 8:30pm.The email they sent out says this event requires advance ticket purchase. I went to the store and got tickets since I live close by, but check their website to see if there are other options.

A real protein fest: All you can eat Swedish meatballs, Herring, smoked salmon, poached salmon, Christmas ham, sausage, liverwurst pate, boiled eggs with shrimp, assorted cheeses, and plenty of Swedish side dishes.

Prices: $9.99 for adults, $2.49 for kids under 12.

Topic: Dr. Daly and United insurance approval question

My mother's doctor finally recommended weightloss surgery for her. He recommended Dr. John Daly.
Has anyone used him? I was also wondering if anyone has experience getting coverage with United Health Care and what their approval process is like. I was a self pay in Mexico and used Dr. Aceves. I was thrilled with him but since she has insurance she is going to stay here.
Thanks

Topic: RE: Appointment with Dr. Chasen

That's what I thought too, but when the rep from Dr. Chasen's office called, she said the insurance company told her it had to be within the last year. I'm going to call Cigna today and see what's going on. Regardless, I'm not having surgery til summer. I can't afford to miss work. :(
