Kristin - we are going to be neighbors in the hospital! I will come see you if that is okay! I am scheduled the day before. I am so glad you got a date - I know how much stress you were under dealing with Coates office and trying to work out your work schedule. Congrats!! See you in the hospital!

Congratulations on getting a date! Trust me, I know what a pain Coates' office is, but I can't complain now that I'm 19 days postop! Good luck and enjoy the ride to a healhier YOU!

switched surgeons to Dr. Coirin in Manteca... I saw him on ..oh gosh... 6/26 I'm thinking.. (I have no memory brain cells left...) Dr. Coirin's office is AWESOME!!!! I just love Sonya! I talked to her on the phone and basically whined my story to her.. she got me right in and is working hard to get me authorized... I do have a surg date... It is July 18... I'm almost scared to get excited... I don't have my auth back from my insurance yet.. (so I'm secretly saying hooray...shhhhh)... Should hear something back tomorrow.. or maybe Monday since we have a holiday this week! Went in for an EKG today... my heart looks beautiful! <G>!!... I go in on 7/8 for a 3 hour meeting at the hosp (i'm thinking its a nutrition thing????? I'm sure she told me... but again... I'm a bundle of nerves lately... Today is my oldest daughter 13th bday!!! She keeps telling me not to cry!! LOL... wait till she has a daughter of her own! (and it better be a looooooooooooong time from now)... My baby girl will be 10 in 10 days... both big bdays... one's a teen.. ones on the double digits! LOL I just know this surgery will allow me to be a more active participant in their lives... make sense?? So...that is what is happening here in my life!!

not feeling so patient today.... FINALLY got in touch with vanessa at the drs office.. she seemed bothered that I called... yes she knew I had left messages but has been too busy to call back... yes she knows that I have to be back at work before 8/27 because another employee is going out for surgery (not wls) and she is just sorry ...but even if dr coates told me he could pencil me in ... she can't until she has auth... NOT TO MENTION... the girl who does insurance (megan) wasn't there... she can see my stuff is all together... but can't tell if it has been submitted... sooo... she asked that I call back on Monday. bla bla bla!! (anyone have a wine cooler out there???) LOL

Hi there... got a call from the psych guy... I "passed"!!! He said he dictated a report and sent it on to the surgeon... hoooray... one more step closer.... See the surgeon in a couple weeks... phew... this is a long process... (and haven't even started with the insurance company!!)

Hi Kristin, I started trying protein drinks before surgery, I figured I wouldn't feel like trying a bunch of different drinks after. Do remember though that some peoples taste change after surgery. For me personally, the carnation instant breakfast did not have enough protein. I use the isopure powder, you can mix it with milk or water. Each scoop has 25 grams of protein in it. I am now mixing mine with water to avoid the extra carbs, and 1/2 TBS sugar free chocolate syrup made by sweet and low. I stir it up with a spoon and add ice, as I don't care for thick, shake like type drinks. Best wishes to you for an uneventful surgery and quick recovery. Take care!

Howdy neighbor. I just wanted to wish you well as you start your Journey. I've heard Dr Coirin is wonderful and from what I've read the process is very quick. I'll be reading your profile for updates.
