One night when I was reading I found a great post on the three leak test that should be performed after sleeving. I found out yesterday that my insurance will pay for the sleeve now I can't find the post on the leak test. Can anyone please help me find it?

I appreciate all help

WASa had some good information about it in her researching Mexican surgeons thread here: http://verticalsleevetalk.com/vertical-sleeve-gastrectomy-vsg-surgeons-hospitals/66-researching-mexican-sleeve-surgeons.html#post390

Is this the one you are referring to?

CONGRATS on finding out that your insurance will pay for the surgery - that's wonderful!

nothing to be scared of. Dr. Aceves is an extremely good surgeon and he has done many of our surgeries. You will be in perfect hands if you choose him to be your surgeon.

If you choose a different surgeon, you're still picking the very best weight loss surgery available!

Thanks Vegas! I am thrilled and also a little scared

Oh I am sure - everyone goes through that stage - before and after surgery ... who is doing your surgery? Do you have to stay in the US since insurance is paying or will they pay out of the country? As Daisy said, Dr. Aceves is FANTASTIC!

      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.
