Dr Fegelman in Cincy

Nancy, I see that you are from Mt. Orab. I live in Pierce Township outside of Amelia. Small World! I will let you know how things go. I am starting to get a little nervous. Also, I want one last fish sandwich before surgery. If I have lost weight at weigh - in tonight, I might just have one! Good Luck! p.s. I kept hounding my insurance company. I think they approved me to get rid of me!

Oops, Sorry! I meant to type Mindy from Mt. Orab. Sometimes my fingers do not connect with my brain.

Oh, not a problem. My fingers don't always do what they are supposed to. I had insurance approval in a matter of hours from United Medical Resources. They said they didn't receive the paperwork from Jewish so they had to fax it and I had approval the same day. Dr. Fegelman does a lot of stuff by mail it seems, wouldn't handling some of these matters over the phone work just as well. Do you know how busy they are at the center?MLBrown

It is very busy on class nights. They also do the medically supervised weight loss there - Optifast. They move you through pretty quickly for your apt. I am not sure of the class schedule post surgery or how often I will need to go the center. Hopefully, I will know more tonight.

Be sure to post all the information you get tonight. I look forward to hearing what they had to say. Have a good time and we'll talk soon.MLBrown

That's ok. I have been to Amelia several times lately. I'm a REALTOR. Do you think my process will go quicker since I'm a self-pay? ~Nancy

Jane, Is there any variation to your diet. Like vegetable juice or oatmeal? Thanks, ~Nancy

All systems go!!! I thought full liquids meant broth, juice, ginger ale, jello, etc. Starting the second day post op. and for 4 weeks I am on full liquids consisting of: cottage cheese, sugar free yogurt, sugar free pudding, Slim Fast Optima, fat free cream soups, and skim milk. I have to go buy unflavored whey powder. I am supposed to work a scoop of that into my food throughout the day. I eat every two hours the second day post op. and every three hours thereafter. Sip lots of water. No vitamins until two weeks out. Doesn't sound too bad, but we will see.
