Mlivingston04 11 Posted June 5, 2012 Ohhh, I didn't know we have to give ourselves shots of blood thinners... not looking forward to that (blah) I had my surgery yesterday and they gave me the shots after I was already out. I thought they might not do it so I asked and they said yah they had given them to me but they waited until I was under. I was really glad about that.

fericito 138 Posted June 6, 2012 I am set for the 11 th. Had to redo the EKG today. The leads were inverted the first time, giving me an abnormal result. I am ready to go. Are all these tests for insurance based? I'm just curious because they never gave me an EKG but I'm also self pay... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreBre 6 Posted June 6, 2012 why is it that some doctors only want one or two days of a liquid diet and some want two weeks or more? I don't get it. I asked them the same question. Mine is only 2 days and I am on the end of my day 1. I feel like I'm about to pass out, I am SO hungry. I am so thankful that I don't have to do this for two weeks. They told me that Dr.Naim only has us do 2 days, because he doesn't want us to feel weak for the surgery. I already feel weak after day one...can't IMAGINE 2 weeks. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But everything is included in my price plus a year of fills and free checkups. I would ask them to verify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secondchanceatlife 38 Posted June 6, 2012 My surgery date is June 12th! I am super excited! Although I'm nervous about the four days of liquids BEFORE surgery. I just know that I'm going to be starving! Ugh! But I am so excited to FINALLY be banded in 6 more days! I have wanted this for years, and never thought that I would be able to get it. Thank you God for another chance at life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
