Excitement and Impatience



Recommended Posts

I am in the process of getting through all of the logistics leading up to the scheduling of surgery. I am very excited and look forward to working hard to do my part torward getting and staying fit. How did you all manage staying calm while waiting for a surgery date? All I want to do is talk about it.

Lol, I am in my pre-op 6MSWL, and I know my boyfriend and mother are both sick of hearing about it already. And I even still have three months to go before I can get approval! I just come here and read through the postings and talk with other pre-sleevers, and I get to talk about it as much as I want. I mean, everyone here is on the same journey.

I personally called my insurance to verify my benefits and was then referred to a bariatric coordinator who also confirmed the requirements for surgery who then referred me to my nurse case manager who also verified the information. At this point, I am 100% sure they REALLY want the 6MSWL. Also, Novus Center who I work with as a part of Dr. Webb's (my surgeon) practice has also confirmed the information for me.

      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?

      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.
