All set for October 9th with Dr Lopez. I am nervous not so much about the surgery but more about what happens after. I've had a gastric bypass in 2000 and a reversal in 2001 and I currently have the band that doesn't work. I hope that this is just not one more failure on my end.

Wow your the first person I ever met that had a bypass reversal. Can you please tell me why u had it reversed in the first place?

Yes I have learned that I am quite the freak of nature. The Dr who did my reversal (and banding) though that the Dr who did the inital bybass nicked my lower intestine. He wanted to be on the safe side so he revesed it. I have to tell you that was the hardest thing to wae up from that and find out that it was reversed. I knew that it meant I was going to gain it back.

One of the reasons I cant wait for the sleeve is that I heard that it is like the bypass where you don't have the hunger.

      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.
