Recommended Posts

I am working through the approval process (6 weeks in) in El Paso. Anyone had experience with Las Palmas Medical Center and Dr. Acosta?

I'm also working on approval. The people at Doctors In are terrible and have not submitted my medical history so everything is pending because of that. Oh and they also have not gotten my referral letter :(.....what insurance do you have?

Well I will take it a day at a time and go from there. So far everyone at Las Palmas has been great and my doctor is Dr. Acosta also. Mind me asking for sex and age? Is that allowed on here? I'm new to the message board!

Most all of my pre-op has been done and now waiting for the approval process to finish-up. Surgery is still not scheduled as of today.

      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.
