The Search is Over!!!



Recommended Posts

After months... and Months... and MONTHS of searching for over a year a change. I finally found what i was looking for.

I was so ready to give up, but something deep inside told me, that progression is active and never stagnate.

I swear to everything i love, i was going to remain this chubby, insecure guy forever, but THIS, THIS right here was the light at the end of the tunnel for me.

i know a lot you are still curious and wondering what the hell i;m talking about, so let me tell you.

Today i found the FIRST doctor in over a year, that didnt turn me down. Not only does this doctor ACCEPT my insurance (Amerigroup=trash) but he ALSO started doing the surgery i longed for... the SLEEVE!. I spoke to him today and he was great. Taller than i expected but straight to the point to if or buts. His staff were also amazing. Even though I've done my research about the sleeve for over a year and change. They explained EVERYTHING with accurate details, so i was impressed because the other doctors that DIDNT accept my insurance but did the surgery, didnt know much or were fluent enough to break it down properly.

I don't want to get my hopes up or nothing but i havent even submitted the paper work to Amerigroup as of yet. Hopefully they approve and dont try to screw me over AGAIN for the millionth time.

I feel so relieved right now. Now i can start on my journey to become a SLEEVER!!!!

oh by the way the Dr. name is Gorecki!

      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.
