Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 Lara, Sorry to say but you must get them done again. There is no other way. The blood work and Ekg has to be done within 30 days of the surgery. (In my city it's 7 days) Sorry but at least you do have time to get it done again.

Lara, You can attend clinic anytime your insurance agrees to pay for it. Unless you want to pay for it yourself $255. I went to clinic on 4/29/00. Some insurance will pay for the clinic appoinment and not the surgery. I wanted to go to clinic before I even made up my mind to have the surgery. It was great and confirmed all I had heard about the Dr. & the surgery it was just one less thing I had to worry about when I started the whole process.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 Bread was my drug of choice so I haven't had it yet. Am still doing the liquid thing...some soft foods. I don't know at what point I will " do " bread. I think I will need to put it off. If I eat it and it goes down well I know that I will eat it all the time and get no nutrition.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 Flo, Ice cream and pork chops were my favorites and I haven't tried either of them because I really haven't had any trouble eating everything I've tried, and I *don't* want to try these and have no trouble . . . But I'm not craving them at all, either, which is wild, especially not ice cream. I haven't had any trouble with dumping, but anything with real sugar in it just doesn't taste good too me -- too sweet. I've sort of wanted a pork chop, but have been putting that off until I feel like I want to try something that " thickish. " Somebody here said that when they eat something, they want it to be *good,* and I'm finding that to be true, now, too, whereas before, texture and just having something in my mouth was more important than taste. I did try beef yesterday and it felt like I had just eaten rocks. I had bought the Tyson seasoned beef strips that come in a package. I had a couple of bites of one. They were *terrible.* Tough, ugly, coarse looking, blech, and tasted worse than they looked. But, just as well, now I don't have to worry about craving a steak or beef. I didn't have any trouble with the ground beef in 4 nachos from Taco Bell a couple of weeks ago, though. Anyone having trouble with the urge to " put something in your mouth, " I made a lot of bathroom Dixie-cup sized cups of sugar-free jello -- only 5 calories in 6 of them (total), so less than 1 calorie each.
