July 29th w/ Dr. Kelly

[peppercma 12]

Hello All!

I'm set for Friday, July 29th with Dr. Kelly in TJ. My husband will be coming with me, but I wanted to know if I would have any fellow sleevers there also?

I am either trying for the 28th or 29th. My stepmom is going with me. I was thinking "surgery on the 28th after I arrive and leave on Monday?"

Did you have to pay the down payment to get the surgery date? Were you all told that you have to do anything before surgery besides a weeks diet?

I dont have to pay anything for my surgery, my insurance covers it at 100%- only had to pay the co pays at the inital visits.

Also- i have to take a classon the 18th that goes over all the foods, and a list of groceries to get before surgery to have post op and i have a pre admin screening on the 15th for blood work and a chest x ray to make sure everything is done for the final okay on the surgery. Then I'll be on a liquid diet for 10 days pre-op. Hope this helps... this is what my doc and nut has told me

My insurance doesn't cover anything. I spoke with Trish and she asked when I would like to have the surgery. I told her what day I wanted and she said that would work. You have to send a $1000 deposit within 5 days of setting the date. The papers she sent me say that an additional $1000 will be required 7 days before surgery. The remaining amount can be taken to the hospital with you in the form of a cashiers check.

As far as diet goes this is what the paperwork says...

7-14 days prior to surgery - a protien drink for b'fast, lunch & pm snack (if needed); dinner is a salad with Protein (chicken, fish, eggs, etc.), small amount of low fat or fat free dressing. You may also take 1 Metamucil capsule per day if needed for hunger.

3 days before surger - take a laxative then follow with only Clear liquids (broth, jell-o, sf juice, anything clear).

I know that I was interested in seeing this stuff before I scheduled, so I'm planning on putting a copy of this paperwork on my blog here. It may take me a while, I have to figure out how to get it all in one file, instead of one file for each page (my copier only does 1 page at a time).

Thanks!

When I went May 16th it was $500 down and the rest there, but I think they are changing all of the stuff they are doing now, the diet information is not the same as what I was given either.
