I have never tried the brand you are talking about, but I too was trying to find the perfect protien seupplement before I had surgery. I am now 3 days post-op and some of the stuff doesn't taste the...

and I am still nervous and anxious. I don't recall ever being this nervous before any other surgery I have had in my life. I wish I could just go to sleep today and it all be over with, but no,...

I will be right behind you two days later, the 19th. I am also getting nervous.

Oh no, not my hair..........please tell me this is not true!! :(

I am starting to get a little nervous. I have cut down my caffiene intake and eating more soups. My doctor has not put me on a pre-op diet, but afraid my body might go into shock if I don't make...

They will probably do a Hidascan since, I am assuming, they already did a CT or Ultrasound because you said they see sludge in your gallbladder.

Well, I was a fortunate one that didn't have symptons when they took my gallbladder out, but I do work for a general surgeon who does take gallbladders out all the time and I see your symptons all...

I just can't believe that after 5 long months of dealing with insurance, I finally got approved. My tenative surgery date is January 19th, 2012. The first day of my new life!!! Whoohoo.......:)

My insurance will pay all except for $3,800 (including doctor and hospital), but they want it all up front. My credit isn't that good, is there any financing out there if you don't have good credit?

Well I just want to cry........................:)

The dietitionist just faxed over her notes from our meeting yesterday (to my doctor and to me). This is exactly what she put in the notes for the...

Went to the dietitionist today, which according to my denial, is all I need to do to get approved. Hopefully they will forward to the doctor and the doctor will to a peer to peer with the medical...

thx jm.........mine are crossed too!!!

Well according to the surgeon's office, the only thing they denied me for was not having a consult with a dietitionist/nutritionist within the last 12 months. I only have 7 days for the doctor to...

Well the waiting game is over, I was denied. I don't know the specifics yet, but I am very disappointed. :(

Well here I am in this limbo of waiting to see if my insurance will say "Yay" or "Nay". During my consult, my doctor told me Cigna was one of the strictest and hardest to get a approval. I have...

Question for you............Do you know the cost of the surgery. I am consulting with another doctor and I think they are trying to jerk me around about my copay

Was wondering if anyone from the Las Vegas area? I went to a seminar with Dr. Atkinson, any feedback?

First of all I want to commend everyone in their great weight loss. I am still in the thinking stage and was sort of concern about the rapid weight loss. I was always told, the slower the weight...

I went to a seminar today with wanting to have the lapband done. Well now I am gearing towards the sleeve. Just a couple questions I have since I been home......

1. I was reading on the...
