Hello my people!!!
Not yet, I called the surgeon's office...they hadn't heard anything so I called the insurance co. They said it got approved this morning and the letter would go out either this afternoon or Monday. I asked could they fax it to Dr. They said yes, but doctor's office would have to request that, not me....stupid huh? Anyway, I called the doctor's office back so they were going to call and request it this afternoon.
Probably be Monday before they call with a date and a diet, but Dr. says he doesn't do the pre-op liquid diet, just high protein. Said you stay on liquids long enough after surgery.
PS. He has the LapBand himself....LOL probably knows a thing or two about liquid diet.
I'm doing good. On normal foods now and not having any problems. I feel stuck from time to time but it usually only lasts a few minutes. I'm due for my first fill on 9/20, which I'm a little scared about being too tight and starting the throwing up all over again. I haven't lost anymore since the first 2 weeks, so I guess I need a fill. Good luck to you on your surgery. Let me know when your date is.
