Just 2 more days till surgery day. Suddenly I am terrified. I have no doubt I want this I am just scared of the pain. I am in recovery from addiction so i will not take pain meds home from the hospital and I am scared I will need them. Or suffer from to much pain.

The surgeons office should know what all is next. and should help you with filing your insurance. -

Insurance Question: Why only one requirement?
Hopep4673 replied to Tasia29's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
not my insurance but i have heard of it being this way... more and more insurances are getting rid of the medically supervised diet requirement. Yes it should make it easier you will likely only need a letter of necessity for your PCP. However, your surgeon may require more than your insurance like Psych clearance. Congratulations on your decision and best of luck in your journey. -
Today is day 1 of all liquids, and honestly this seems easier that the stage where I was allowed to eat 1 time per day. Maybe last wekk prepared me for this week!!! only 6 days till surgery day. Woohoo!!!

How to tell a loved one you plan to get WLS?
Hopep4673 replied to AK37's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My suggestion would be to be prepared to answer questions and reassure them that this is the best option for you. You might be pleasantly surprised. I did not keep this a secret from anyone. I told everyone of any importance in my life and almost everyone has been amazingly supportive. My husband was a bit skeptical at first but once i explained it to him and he read some literature on it he has been totally on board. The only person who has been negative was my father in law and I just ignored him (he is always so negative anyway). -
Mentally preparing for pre-op diet
Hopep4673 replied to maymee26's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on mine now for surgery the 8th... the first day was easy the 2nd through 4th have been hard but today I seem to have had a breakthrough it has not been bad today. Just push towards the light at the end of the tunnel, and everyone of us will be great!!! Best Wishes fellow baripals -
Day 5 of pre op diet... today is better. Thank God for broth it has helped a lot especially with it being so cold outside. My next challenge is next week when it is all protein shakes and liquids. On the bright side though I am almost there 9 days till surgery

Opinions on sleeve vs. bypass?
Hopep4673 replied to jayleensmama's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I chose RNY because my surgeon told me tgat with my T2D that is what he recommends... because with RNY patients have significant reduction of insulin resistance b4 significant weight loss. Without T2D I would have prolly gone with sleeve. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Oh man, I remember how miserable that was. Was one of the hardest parts of the process in my opinion. I was starving, ornery and my brain wasn't working right....just felt kinda unhinged. Was awful! Just keep putting one foot in front of the other...you'll get there and after surgery, it's tough, but it's all down hill. You got this! Keep up the hard work!
