I Got my Surgery Date!!!



Recommended Posts

Yay!!! Super excited, and very nervous of course. It's gonna happen though.. Sept. 14th with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali.

Revision here we come!

I really can't wait, I've been wanting to start over again for a very long time.

So, out with the old and in with the new. Instead of a Bandiversary, I'll now have a Sleeversary. I hope I will Celebrate this day now instead of cursing it. :scared0:

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jordien, Tiffy!! I absolutely 100% know this is the right choice for me! I know, because I made it all by myself. I was not given that choice with the band. All I knew was my insurance covered the Band and RNY. I couldn't have RNY because I was already nutrient deficient and blood Iron anemic. I think RNY could likely have killed me.

So, I'm getting all my preparations in order and I hope this next three or so weeks goes super fast!!!! :)

Thanks everyone!!

Mila, its cool to have someone to share similar experiences with - especially revisionaries!! :)

I actually for the first time, today started to think about how fast 3 weeks will go by, and then got the butterflies a little bit. I also got it a little bit when I called the hotel to set up reservations for my Mom who will be going with me. Scary!!!!!

      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.
