Call out to Dr Nease's Patients

I am still pre-op and curious what kind of diet you were put on prior to surgery. I have heard people on the Lap Band board talk about two weeks of liquids (or more). I am really wanting to hear from his patients but would love input from everyone.
Also if you can tell me a little about what you drank that would be helpful.

Thanks for your input.

 Hi  I was beginning to think this board was getting dried up  teeeheee
  yes you wil be on the 2 weeks liquids..  I drank lots of protein drinks  wal marts crystal light..  broths    hmmm  a year and I have forgtotten  so much     Marsha the dietican will give you a very detailed list of things you can and cannt have.....    I think she is the speaker monday night at support group  so you might ask her before or after for some suggestions.If I can get to my papers I recieved I will make you a more detailed list from that.  I am so thrilled that you are  so anxious and willing to do everything to get ready fort his  you will  and are a great example  of what ths surgery can and does do for people....

  I forgot     popscisles  and jello  I know there are lots more I gotta find those papers     I see dr. neace Tuesday and  I hope to get my last fill  and I will need them  after a fill  he has you go on stage 2 fo 2 days and stage 3 for 3days    and  I can see now that I need to review these for me........
   He has one patient that wrote every single thing she ate drank down the whole time if you could find her she would be a huge help to you   she is a very nice lady   but dont even know her name  
Oh remember my telling you that I had started bidding on 3 bottles of sf syrups    and today I won them  3.00      with shipping  it was the same as 16.00  and they are large bottles  so about the same as at Wal Mart but  thats ok   maybe a little cheaper  when you add taxes to wal mart...  
 Oh welll

Thanks for the info Willa. I knew you would tell me something. I can't say I am looking forward to two weeks of liquids, but if it what I have to do I'll do it.

I found out they did not submit my stuff to the insurance last week. They were supposed to do it today. I may call tomarrow to check.

How is your tooth? 

Thanks again Crystal 

   I am sorry and surprised they didnt submitt your papers last week    but  do call tomorrow to make sure they do it tomorrow   
  my tooth  well it isnt hurting nearly as bad  I am not eating hot or cold things  so there isnt alot of shock to it...  and of course it acts up more at night than during the day..  but  hope that it will be all better tomorrow  
 have a nice evening  

I just gotta question....did anyone here have the op done on Medicaid? In WV????? I know someone who needs it so badly , but so far we cant find anyone....We been told that Medicaid has such standards now that you need to be near death to have it done....how sad...what can one do? Would love for someone to tell me "it can be done" ....thanks for any help you may be able to give!

  Hi ...I dont know if this will hel*****t  esp if the rules has changed
  but last year in July when I had my surgery I had medicare and Ohio Medicade  I am disabled so thats why the medicare  and my husband had a stroke and can no longer work so while waiting for Social security we had to get state help...... anyway I didnt have to pay a cent for the  operation  now the pre testing I did have to pay for the syc head doc  but he let me make payments    so  if it is the way  it should take care of it  and I have a friend that had it done all on medicade  she is blind so I dont if that helped her or not   and she had to pay nothing but that was in 2005 mybe it has been a while now  and Dr Neace  is her surgeon as well
 maybe this will give your friend some hope. 
prayers willa

  also theres a lady  on the main lap bandboard I think it is Vicki that they call the insurance guru  so you may want to get in touch with her and see what she would suggest
 prayers willa
