  1. You letting us know, brought a tear to my ear. So glad she has a great hubby by her side.
  2. Many ins companies will ask for a two year weight history from your pcp for a bmi of 40. For bmi lass than 40 to 35 you may need one or two comorbidities as well

    Many surgeons require a pre op diet because it shrinks the liver making. Isualization with a laperscope easier

    Oh, and unless there is a reason you shouldn't, consider a flu shot (personal preference, but advised)

    I would suggest for pre op folks, daily Vitamin C and purell in your pocket. Avoid sick infectious people, crowded gatherings. But above all wash or purell your hands as much as possible!
  6. So glad that you are on the other side, losers bench. Also happy you are feeling well. Good reports like this make me less nervousnaout my upcoming sleeve. Keep us updated. Congratulations!!

    Had my pre op today. Found out the following: Doc gave me go and eat a good meal tonite for tomorrow you shall die...t, LOL 10 days of optifast 5 a day. And clears the last two days He uses a 40 bougie stables up tight All his pt have good weight loss and little of the intolerances. He uses the triple row stapler and does not over sew or seal the line (feels it causes more complications than not doing it I feel much better

    Protein 1St Week

    Funny how different the diets are from surgeon to surgeon. i am to be on clear liquids for 7 days, with only 20 g of Protein intake per day required (1/2 bottle of isopure)

    Pre-op visit today, testing etc. starting pre-op diet today. 5 optifast shakes a day...that's it. 13 days to surgery!!!
  15. Unless you are all alone and have no one to go to the store for you, (just in case) i don't see needing to buy one or two days of post op stuff at a time(one bottle of Isopure, or some sort of Protein shakes). I say that but understand there are folks who live super rural and this is not always feesable. A lot of these companies on line have free shipping and ship super fast too.
