Office Had Me Scheduled For Roux-En-Y Surgery!!!!!

So, I went yesterday for my pre-admission testing appointment. It's where you go through everything and make sure they have everything and you have everything answered.

There is a long story, but my NP is out on materity leave (due back next week) the other NP from the other office took her job of a lifetime, so need less to say, I've been waiting for this appointment and had to go to a completely different office.

I get to the office yesterday (I'm 12 days out today from my surgery) and they had me down for the wrong surgery!!! And the worst of it is that the doctor only does gastric bypasses on one day and bands on another. So basically, my "band" surgery is scheduled for a bypass day. So now the NP and the office manager need to try to fix it while I'm there because I then explain to them that I have two people taking the day off (my husband and mom) and have child care for my kids already set up for that particular day.

They called my surgeon and he said mo problem! So now, I'm going to follow with MY NP when she gets back in next week to make sure someone followed up with the hospital and it was changed there because what if I get there and the actual hardware, the Realize Band, isn't even there. Then the whole thing will be a bust!!

Maybe I should go ahead and call my office and have them check. I'm afraid my NP might be overwhelmed when she comes back in.

So, that's my story.

My good news, I'm down 19 lbs in the last 2 months and 3 numbers on the BMI scale :)

      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.
