I'm looking to have my surgery in a few weeks. I'd like to talk to someone from MS that has had this done.

Thanks

I haven't had my surgery yet (still saving up), but I'm from MS (Jackson area). Hope your surgery went well!

Hi. I hope your surgery went well and you are doing fine. I am in Biloxi and am also looking for someone here on the coast. I am actually looking for a support group or a meeting for us sleevers to get together and share our stories. Do you know of any?

Not sure about any support groups in Miss (I have not heard of any) I am in Pass Christian. I had my surgery in Slidell with Dr. Warden. I think the hospital he is affiliated with La surg specialists has a group (or at least a nutrition group).

I'm from the Northeast MS area. I have not been sleeved yet, but hope to be in the next couple of months at NMMC. Anybody had experience with Dr Pinson?

Shae,

I know you left this message in 2011 so I don't know if you're still on this thread, but I'm from Hattiesburg. I'm having my surgery Friday (October 26, 2012) in Pascagoula. I was wondering who your doctor was and how you're doing these days. I know there's a support grout at South MS Surgery Center in Ocean Springs.

      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.
