Post Op Care/ Preop Eval



Recommended Posts

I can't say enough about my primary doctor. He is so special to me. When i started my research over 6 months ago I told him about going to mx. Hes from columbia and said he would go in a heart beat! He was so excited for me. He knows how bad my back is, blood pressure, fatigue, and that if I dont do this I'm looking at back surgeries! Not one but a few. This is me taking control of what I can. He did my preop eval today and even wrote a letter to Dr. Ponce in Spanish! I can't tell you how releived I was today that I have the support of my wonderful primary. He agreed to do all post op as his background is in surgery. Whew what good news! He hugged me and added me to his prayer list. Said he will see me again because the big man is in charge and he knows I'm in good hands! I will sleep well. Good night all

I can only hope that my primary is as supportive and receptive to the idea of me self paying for the surgery and going to mexico. Something tells me though that I won't be as blessed as you are in that department!!!

      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.
