Georgia Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Well I have already changed Patient Advocates once...and now this new one won't return my emails! I sent her one last Monday and with no response I resent it to her on Thursday. As of this afternoon' date=' still no answer so I sent her another email and copied my surgeon. Hopefully he will make sure I get the information I need!

What really stinks is, I really like my surgeon! It's some of his staff that I can't stand! And it's not like I have been aggravating and calling none stop! The last time before that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago when I called about getting my sleep study set up.

Just getting totally frustrated with this process, but determined to fight to get this surgery to start a new healthier life![/quote']

If you've already answered this forgive me for asking but would you by any chance be working with an office in Atlanta? I feel like we have the same surgeon by your message!

Lol! No it's in Augusta, GA.

I did finally get a response today after copying the surgeon! She is waiting on my psych eval report and then she will be submitting the file to the insurance company!

I think so! Lol

I had to call the psychologist and have them forward the report to my PA. So now they have everything they need so hopefully they will be submitting my paperwork to the insurance soon!

Hey everybody! I'm in Athens, GA & getting sleeved with Dr. Macik in June. I'm just about finished with the pre op stuff & have been surprised to have enjoyed it as much as I did. Thought it would be a pain, but it's been good. Anybody else going to be a June baby?

      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.
