Recommended Posts

When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go, to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? :welcome:

I am having surgery on 2/22/12. I am ready for these last weeks to be over with and to be sleeved! I have never been so encouraged and inspired in my life to be healthy! I am traveling from Houston to Mexico to have my surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly.

Anyone else out there having their surgery with Dr. Kelly the week of February 20th?

WOO HOO!!! I can't wait either!! Getting tense waiting for real estate deal to sign so we can get the funds. It's one hang up after another. I'll cry if I have to put it off!

Feb 13th and it can't come soon enough for me. I am so ready to start this journey to wellness. I am having Dr. Emma Patterson who is Clinic Owner, Surgeon and Medical Director of the Legacy Good Samaritan Weight Management Institute of Oregon do my surgery. I started this process in Nov of 2010 when I went to one of her seminars, then it took me 4 months to do some research and get up the nerve to fill out their lengthy application....then there were all the different tests and scans and poking and prodding but here I am today ready and willing to get this done.

We're sleeve sisters! I'm 2/6 too!

I'm getting sleeved at Community Hospital by Dr. Howard Simon in Upstate NY. I am SOOOO ready to go! It took me almost ten years of research to finally pick the right surgery, doctor, and hospital. Now that I finally made the choice I can not wait! I'm especially excited because I thought it would be at least June before I got my surgery. I can't believe from the beginning of the process until surgery it will have been less than 3 months for me!

I'm about to bust with excitement, but I can't quite get happy until these STOOPID real estate papers are signed and our property is officially sold. No money, no surgery. WAAAHHH!!! The tension is killing me!!! Now there are roof problems with the building we are selling, and they have to be resolved before closing. It's going to cut it down to the wire. I'm hoping I don't have to move my date. :( (weep weep)

      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.
