Hello there Jeanie...I ahd my surgery with Anita Courcoulas on Friday, January 13th, 2006. I have lost 164 pounds so far. I am no longer losing, however, I am happy where I am at. I will take what I can get. I was denied also and was later cleared for surgery within 2 days after my denial...not enough diet history.....I got on my PCP and he filled in all the pertinent info from my records...so don't you even think about giving up...you hear???!!!!!!!! Keep on listening to your Dr. She will lead you in the right direction...she
iss VERY good at what she does. Your sex life will change as the excess body weight will no longer interfere...so look forward to that...I don't do a whole lot of protein shakes as I try too eat alot of protein rich foods like cottage cheese, tunafish, eggs and Etc. Good luck an d I know you will do just fine...take care and email me...Charmaine
