Topic: RE: Hello
I am glad you have decided on Potomac and I know you are anxiously waiting to hear from the insurance company. Once your insurance approves, the remainder of the process will go a lot smoother. Keep me posted on your progress. .

Thank you. I found out yesterday-surgery is scheduled for November 17. Exciting and sobering news all at the same time. I just want to be healthy and have a more normal exercise tolerance again. Have you had surgery already?

Great Job on the weight loss so far. I have a feeling you will have great success with your surgery. Keep up with the good work.

I also have CareFirst but I am in Alexandria, VA and my Dr is at Virginia Hopital Center in Arlington. There are 2 surgeons there but i do not know the distance from you. I have had a wonderful experience with them and their office WLS nurse is Michelle and she is awesome.!

Topic: RE: CAN SOME ONE HELP ME I HAVE SURGERY IN DEC
HI  your dr. should go over this with you and his staff, but I lived on jellos, liquids, puddings. I had a rough time getting in the shakes as my body just kept puking them up. I had alot of puking the first three months and I still cant eat alot of foods esp. meat!! Good luck with your surgery keep me posted

No surgery yet. RNY planned in a few weeks but I have lost about 20 pounds in preparation and feel better already.
