5'2, 234lbs, I havent set a date cant afford the hospital fees at River Oaks, they dont offer a payment plan at all. I was trying to have it done right before Thanksgiving, so I can take the rest of the year to recover.

My insurance required me to pay the hospital stay. It was $150. per nights and I stayed 2 nights. What is your insurance requiring?i had to pay it the day of surgery but I pad mine when I went to pre register.

That's good info. Why do they have me doing everything at CMmc I love baptist

I had to do my EGD at CMMC only because at that time I chose it. I knew Dr. Cummins was leaving River Oaks so I didn't mind. I did some prep blood at river oaks. I did my ABG and PFT at work, my PCP did my EKG and Chest X-ray in his office. Yes I was the 1st one at Baptist and they did so well. You have that option to go there. When is your surgery date?

Wow my insurance paid all but about $500.00. Yes call and ask to speak with DeeDee. She is the surgery coordinator and is awesome with everything. If she is busy say asked to be transferred to her vmail. She will be able to answer all your questions. That way you can see if Baptist is less expensive.

      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.
