Hey all! I'm currently living in Norman (go to OU) and having my surgery on Nov 26th with Dr. Katsis (through Dr. Kirk's office at Bailey medical in Owasso). I'm curious about possible support groups in the Norman area for post-surgery sleevers? I feel like I won't have a lot of people around campus to talk to about my experiences.

Joysdelights we can be sleeve buddies! :o). I am hoping for a January surgery with Dr. Le. I have finished all the requirements and am waiting to be submitted to insurance. Good luck with your sleep study. I didn't particularly enjoy it but the staff was really nice.

Hey all... I just moved to okc and need a Dr to follow up with. I had wls March 28th and have been super successful, but I would like to find a local doc to check in with every once in a while. I have tricare, so a doc that accepts it would be helpful :)

Thanks Lucky. I would be happy to be your buddy. Sorry it took so long to reply. My sleep study was good. Got me a CPAP! I don't much like it. My last meet with Dr Le is January 2nd. Hope to get things moving then. Have you got a surgery date yet? I am worried about the preop diet. I can't lose any weight. My BMI is only 35.8 right now and I am afraid I might not be approved.

      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.
