Oh Lawd.. Another Set Back...... :(



Recommended Posts

So at first I felt like I am approved but now my Doctor keeps sending me for test. I was a lot frustrated, until....... upon getting results from one test showed my heart is not functioning correctly. Cardiologist absolutely said no surgery til this issue is resolved. So people please be patient and follow through with all your appointments no matter how frustrating it could get. As long as your approved the surgery would get done..... biggrin.gif ....

chigga77 - i agree its better that he found the situation before the surgery, just to be safe.

I was cleared by my cardiologist, DOS 12/6/11 - but the nurse called me 3 days prior to WLS to POSTPONE!! I was so upset, but she said the dr. wanted to see me.

Dr. was actually in room when she called me, - and he got on the line to explain about the "possible" prob about my cardio and he just wanted to change hospitals to one that was more qualified if problem occurred. Just wanted to make sure all would go fine.

What i'm trying to say ( being longwinded sorry) it's better to make sure all is ok and be prepared for all, make sure the problem is resolved.

All is good now, DOS changed to 12/15/11 and i feel better that the dr. was concerned just like your dr. Its good to have a caring dr. to make sure you're ok.

Everything will be great, sorry about your wait (weight!!) it'll all work out for the better :o)

      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.
