South Carolina sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Is there anyone out there that is going to be or is already sleeved in South Carolina?

I hope to be sleeved or banded soon. Where are you in SC?

Hey Amanda! Have you been sleeved yet? I'm due to be sleeved on the 31st. I see you are in Ft Mill, I live in Charlotte,NC. Just wondering if you have found a support group yet, as I am looking for one too.

I have not been sleeved yet; but I have completed all my requirements just waiting on an approval from insurance. My doctor's office Southeast Bariatrics has a general WLS support group the 2nd Monday of even month in the evenings, but I have not found a sleeve only support group in Charlotte area....maybe we should form one? :-) Who is your surgeon?

      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.
