My pre op starts on the 11th and surgery on the 18th. I'm curious to see if you start pre op same day as me? Hope so

I've also gained since October. My surgeon didn't say anything about it. I start pre op next Monday. I shouldn't do the "last supper" this weekend...But, I probably will -

How many times is too many to call your insurance?
banditchic replied to Emilee68's topic in Insurance & Financing
They probably did sent the paperwork in on Tuesday, but your insurance didn't get to it until Friday. I had a couple of days in between like that too when they sent mine in. Why are you trying to contact your surgeon's office? It's really out of their hands at this point. Although, I do think it's wrong of them to not return your calls. -

banditchic replied to Emilee68's topic in Insurance & Financing
I called once a day EVERY day for three weeks before I found out I was approved. I sure wanted to call two or three times a day, but refrained..LOL. I totally feel your pain. Hang in there -

A 3 week pre op diet? Wow!!! Congrats to you! Best wishes! -
Best wishes to you. Hope surgery goes well, and you have a speedy recovery!

I hear a lot of you are required to do clear liquids a day or two before surgery. My dr hasn't said anything about that to me. I'm assuming that I just do the normal protein shake up until the night before? I'll check with my dr, but what requirements do any of you have the day or two before "the BIG day"?
-
I get protein drinks, cottage cheese, egg whites, and broth. I have to stay under 1000 calories a day.

My surgery is on the 18th too! Pre op diet for me starts Feb 11.

anybody have to postpone surgery because of flu?
banditchic posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've managed to stay well through this flu season so far. But both of my kids AND my husband came down with the flu this morning. They are all full blown high fevers, aches, pains and chills. All I can think of is don't you dare get me sick 2 weeks before my surgery!!!! I did get my flu shot, but my kids did too Hope I can make it through!!!! -
My surgeon is using a 32 bougie. I think that is "average"? What size did your surgeon use?
