I'm not having mine done at BAMC but at BMI in the Medical Center in San Antonio on Nov 15, 2011. When is your surgery date? Nice to know there is/will be someone close by who is going thru the same thing at probably close to the same time.

I had my surgery August 8th at Foundations Hospital with Dr. Duperier at BMI of Texas... GREAT PLACE! I am not familiar with BAMC so I cant help you there but... I would love to have local buddies who have had the sleeve! We can support each other! I hope you get a date soon. I was self pay because I have Humana and they dont cover the sleeve unless you have a BMI of 50 or higher. Mine was 40.2. Please stay in touch and if I can help you in any way, I certainly will!

      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.
