Thanks for sharing with me! I had a feeling about United Health. I don't know much about Medicare. I wish you much luck with your surgery in November. Wow, that is a lot of money. I don't know if I could save that much in the time I am thinking I would need it?! Always a chance though?! 

May I ask where are you going for your surgery? Take care Dawn

This is awesome!  Congratulations on certifying - I have been wanting to do this as well, the registrations keep filling up before I can get in!  I am starting yoga teacher training in September though, and I am very excited about it!  Hope I can make one of your classes sometime! 

Thank you!  I really do appreciate the kind words and support! 

Yes ,I just asked at my support group and one of her pts. said she just has you eat a lite breakfast, full liquid lunch, and a clear liquid evening meal.  Nothing after midnight.  Thanks for writing back.  On this IN forum there aren't many posts.  When is your surgery?  Mine is 7/14.  I'm 68 so I 'm a little anxious.

Congratulations on the 9 pound weight loss! I know to some it doesn't sound like much but to me it sounds wonderful! I have started to put on weight and hate it. I too have pain issues with degenerative joint disease and have trouble exercising. I do not live close to a YMCA where I can do water areobics so do not exercise because of the pain. I wish you the best of luck!
