I'm getting sleeved with Dr Avara June 14th! I actually went to a support group put on by SMSurgeons tonight! Crazy!! I agree! The staff there is so sweet and caring. I think that I made a good choice by going with them. I know you will do great! I can't wait to here from you and how you are doing! Are you from the coast area? I'm from Hattiesburg. Well, good luck and please, please let me know how you are doing!

wow thats awesome! im from gulfport.

wait till you meet the hospital staff they are just as sweet. a particular nurse there named kelly has been amazing at helping me to calm down and even put in some extra notes for the other nurses of my extreme fear of needles. theres also another lady in the lab named pam who just had the sleeve done too she was very sweet, assuring and told me alot of info as well.

ty for the well wishes i will definitely post info asap ^_^

UPDATE:

I'm in the hospital right now. Just got back from my first walk. First let me tell you guys I had major trauma twice as a kid with emergency stitches and I'm the biggest baby in the world. I cried thru everything but to be honest the IV was the worst part and it wasnt even that bad.

I keep thinkin theres no way i just had this done I'm not even in pain. It's like a cramp in my tummy but just WOW I'm extremely shocked. The Cough Buddy is awesome as well.. the only thing I don't like is having to cough.

I wish I wouldnt have told the aide I was dizzy because I wanted to walk alot further than they had me walk. lol

Thanks guys for the prayers n wishes, I really appreciate all the love. <3

      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.
