Recommended Posts

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.

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...

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. =/

I am self-pay, and I had an EKG done in the office. But everything is included in my price plus a year of fills and free checkups. I would ask them to verify.

I was banded with hernia repair yesterday. I have been walking off and on all morning. Gas pain is going away. Overall I am feeling pretty good. Good luck to all getting banded today.

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 :)

      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.
