Good luck with your next step. I have my initial meeting with my doctor and his team on the 17th. of May. That's when I'm going to bring up the vertical sleeve question. As of now, Medicare/Aetna doesn't have the procedure on their list, but I'm hoping that will change soon. Remember, when you go to Mexico, don't drink the water! LOL :D

You are in the very best hands! Dr Aceves and staff will give you the very best care. Cleanest hospital I have ever been in! I am a healthcare professional! The nurses are top notch they know what they are doing (some don't speak english all that well) make sure you walk up to the border from the hospital. Keep logging on here!

      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.
