Pre Op consultation tomorrow and surgery is for May 27th



Recommended Posts

I'm both excited and nervous. Tomorrow I'll be missing my youngest daughters last track meet of the year and my 8th graders graduation on the 27th. That sucks. So I'll be at the hospital alone, since my wife will be attending both of these events. Anyone go through it alone before?

I too will be banded on the 27th. I'll be experiencing the alone phase, my daughter will not be attending on my surgery date. I go in today for pre-op cosultation. I dont know if someone needs to be there with me or not. No one is available, I dont have friends that close. So I'll go it alone, just me and the LORD.:biggrin:

Sorry to hear that, where do you live i'd go with you? but u know what i have to probably go alone too tomorrow. Ive been going to everything alone, so tomorrow unless my mother wants to go i'll go alone again. No big deal if i can do it a person who suffers from anxiety you can do it too! God Bless and Good Luck with Everything! I just hope i dont go through all of this to find oh, sorry u werent approved. Thats my only fear.

I'm really not even sure how I'm getting to the hospital...it is almost 3 hours away. Hopefully I can get a transport from the hospital here and my wife will pick me up the next day. I'm already planning on staying the night at the hospital.. good luck to you childgod...I'll be thinking of you while I"m in my hospital room.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
