Finally, Approved And Have A Date With Vsg!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!!!

I finally received my approval letter for the VSG and my tentative surgery date is MAY 1, 2012!! I've gone through just about all the emotions thus far. I'm supposed to start my pre-op liquid diet next week after I see my NUT on the 13th and I'm terrified!! I've read a lot of blogs about what others are doing to get through. Does Bougie size really matter??? Just asking that everyone keep me lifted in prayers! Best wishes to those who are about to have the surgery as well as those recovering!! A SPEEDY RECOVERY to you all. I am open to ANY SUGGESTIONS. I'm also vlogging my journey on Youtube: I'm jmcbribe - feel free to follow my process!! Thanks for the support you all!

And I quote you: "I've gone through just about all the emotions thus far." Now you get to go through all of them again and more intensely than before now that you can attach a final date...a "point of no return." :wacko: Stick to your guns. The road is not a smooth one but it has been well-traveled by thousands before you. The most important thing you can have is a positive attitude. I'm one week post-op and looking forward to my new future without any regrets. Best of luck and my hearfelt wishes for a smooth procedure and speedy recovery.

How exciting... my time rushed past me so fast, I was overwhelmed I think... that "feeling the emotions again" perhaps? Congrats to you. I wish you a great surgery, fabulous and easy recovery and all of the positivity that your soul can hold. Best of luck to you.

      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.
