Where is Dr Sloan located? I am not sure, which hospital I know that I have heard the name.

PS Your right about one thing, Indiana is a corn field.

Don't know if you caught it or not but it was my hubby who got the surgery. We went to mexico south of San Diego for his. It was 7,000 out of pocket. Insurance wouldn't cover it. He scheduled it about a week after he discovered the hospital and was comfortable He didn't go through any counceling which I wish he had because he has learned to cheat not and has started gaining his weight back

Thats great that you are still low. I am worried about gaining back. I have surgery scheduled on the 20th of june. Now, I am saying...I should try and do it on my own again.

lolly,

I would really think carefully about it if your wanting to do it on your own. Go ahead and start trying again for a month, make a date for the surgery a month in the future from the 20th of June, like July 20th. Please be sure if your going to be happy with your decision. Its not a cake walk to be in surgery or this operation. The only thing I can see the operation does is take your appetite away from you. The eating thing is really difficult and some what boring. Just be sure it is what you want.

I must say your words have been very incouraging and i thank you all for listening and taking the time to respond. I will be on my own if and when i do this so having the web site will help. I live near vincennes in a very small town wheatland i go through jasper and shoals twice a month for work. nice to meet someone so close with the same experiences. it would be nice to hear from someone who had the surgery a yr . or so ago , and see how they are doing in the long term. thanks again to everyone and keep peddleing hoosierpoms, and best of luck to your daughter.:lol:

congrats on getting your date, and making such a great move!!!

I live about 45 min from Bloomington, and I go to Fishers for my fills. I am doing pretty good, and you know.....feeling good again is worth all the waiting we did to get to the surgery!!!

best of luck,

Traci

      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.
