Lol I know Dani. I splurged a little because I also wanted to use this opportunity to take my parents on vacation because they need to get away and they have been through a lot lately so this will be like a little getaway for them. I don't know how relaxing it will be for them since I will be having surgery but hey at least they will be somewhere nice and near the beach.

Hey Ladies! I'll be staying in myrtle beach, I'm renting a private condo at Sun N Sand. She gave me from saturday-saturday (2 full weeks) for 1100. It's one room, with a king bed, and a full futon. Ocean front. she said you can lay in bed and see the ocean, I splurged a bit too. I'm taking my mom the first half and my boyfriend the second half (flying on in , and one out on that friday)....so I'm kind of giving them a little vacation too since they'll both be taking care of me. Plus I figured If i'm going to be stuck in the hotel that much i NEED something to look at and some place to go if they drive me insane and I can't drive :D Dani thats an amazing price i still can't believe you got that!!!!! I'm so excited for us all. Is anyone else going to VLOG they're experience? I want to do YT vids.

Mimi, if you can start a forum for Us all to keep track of eachother that will be great! I'm so excited for us all!!! Theres a guy right before dani I think that is getting the sleeve, he's on this forum ill pass it along to him as well, then dani, mimi's july 11th and im august 8th, and i forget when meredith's is. Maybe we'll come acrossed more people with dates near ours!!!

Hi all

Dr, Washington is a really good surgeon and I like that he does not sugar coat things he tells you the ups and downs straight up. He will be performing my surgery on April 18th. I have insurance, one of the reasons for the discounts is he is trying to build his practice down here in South Carolina. He needs to have 125 surgeries to become a center of excellence in many insurance company's minds. He had that in New Jersey and has been in the weight loss surgery areana for over 20 years.

Conway is about 13 miles from Myrtle Beach. So I wish you luck with getting a good price they also offer financing through their office. I saw some brochures on the receptionists desk. His office is in Conway hospital and all of their rooms are private rooms. They also offer monthy support groups the next support group is on April 17th.

      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.
