Marathon Appointments...
Aaron in Tulsa replied to Aaron in Tulsa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I saw him a couple of weeks ago. I'm self pay, so the psych clearance was just a requirement from the surgeon, not insurance. -
Sitting in the waiting room. Dietician, exercise physiologist, psych eval, and ekg coming up! See you on the other side.

Congrats and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'm thinking that the protein count by volume would be increased, meaning 1/2 cup of strained (Greek) yogurt would have the same protein as 3/4 or 1 cup of regular yogurt. So the actual protein count doesn't go up, but it does stay the same even though the volume has decreased. Maybe this is a question for my NUT. :-)

I was down there today for my psych eval. I should have paid you a visit! :-) -
Marathon Appointments...
Aaron in Tulsa replied to Aaron in Tulsa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well, I'm not insane! :-) Cleared by psych. My biggest surprise was how helpful the dietician was. I learned a lot and I'm really excited! -
I've never had surgery, but my wife itched something terrible for weeks after her laparascopic gallbladder surgery.

Surgery Tomorrow! Yeah! The Day Is Finally Here!
Aaron in Tulsa replied to Carey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Best wishes! I'm seeing Dr. Broussard at WeightWise. It's a great place! -
It's the same operation. They just use a multi-functional tool that enables them to go in with just a single incision. (Maybe two -- one for the camera?)

The Top 5 Things You Will Not Miss After Vsg
Aaron in Tulsa replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
1) Freaking out when I go to someone's house for a barbecue and all they have is flimsy lawn chairs with a weight limit of 200. 2) Having to order all of my clothes online because stores don't stock my size. 3) Sweating. 4) Thigh chafing. 5) Not going to amusement parks because I can't ride the rides anyway. -
I have BCBS Oklahoma but mine has a total obesity exclusion, so there was no hope of getting anything approved. So...I'm no help at all! :-)

PB2. Awesome. The end. -
Tmi...... No Really Tmi
Aaron in Tulsa replied to DcMak72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is, unfortunately, true. I went on a purple koolaid bender once and had green poop for days! -
Welcome! I'm pre-op as well. This is a great place to get all your questions answered.

Major Vent - Medical Naysayers
Aaron in Tulsa replied to SleeveandRNYchica's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Reminds me of the time my wife had a gallbladder ultrasound and the tech kept telling us he saw the ghost of our miscarried baby in the corner of the room. Yeah....I had some words for him... -

Kidney Stone (Thanks Goodness)

I've thankfully never experienced one and hope never to, but I'm glad for you that it wasn't a leak! -
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I'm Getting Sleeved...tomorrow!
Aaron in Tulsa replied to LegalLady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck! Have fun! -
On my list of things to do before I can get a surgery date is lose 10% of my body weight, or 36 pounds. My question is...how did you do it before your surgery? Any help is appreciated: meal ideas, carb/calorie info, etc. Thank you! (I'm self-pay; the weight loss is doctor's order, not a requirement from an insurance company.)

Have To Lose 36 Lbs. -- How?
Aaron in Tulsa replied to Aaron in Tulsa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Another question. I do great all day, but once 9:00 hits, I feel like I'll die if I don't eat something bad! What do you do for nighttime hunger? -
Pickles <3
Aaron in Tulsa replied to victoriatxgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds crazy, but I enjoy pickle juice! Maybe a sip or three will satisfy your craving?
