I start my Pre op diet today. I am neverous about the surgery but excited and happy at the same time. I have my own business so the main thing I am worried about is recovery time.

Hello everyone I am new to the site. My surgery date is July 31 and I have 200+ to lose.

Hey Repo! We have the same date!! Only 2 weeks to go! How are you feeling? My mind can't make itself up. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Good luck with your journey! ;)

I am from Vermont, but am having my surgery in upstate NY. There is a lake across from the hospital with the beautiful Adirondack mountains in the background, it is very soothing. I started my liquid diet yesterday, I was only required to do 9 days but wanted to make sure I had a handle on it by the time I needed to start. I don't mind it too much, I did a Liquid Protein diet 13 years ago...if only the weight would stay off after you loose it. I am very excited to get the sleeve done. Best of luck on your journey!

Congrats on getting your date! I just started the process and have to do the 6 month medically supervised weight loss before the insurance will approve it. Surgery seems like a long way off, but I know the time will go by fast.

Hi Ayrika! I have the same feelings...mostly excitement, but then some times get a bit nervous. I had a similar surgery a year ago in the abdomen area, so I am anticipating the same recovery(hopefully!). Best of luck and I will be thinking of you.

Yes praldous, I am having Dr. Hill. It has been a long journey for me. I went to the initial meeting March 2008, had all the test and about to send to insurance and I lost my job and insurance. Last June when I had insurance, I recompleted the tests and they were subitting to insurance. On July 11th I was diagnosed with stage 3b colon cancer...so now I have had the colon resection (at AMC) and 6 months of treatment followed by a 3 month wait for my CT scan...it was clear! They were excellent about only having me repeat a couple of necessary tests and I was approved right away by my insurance. I will be meeting Dr.Hill next week for the first time since 4 years ago...I can't wait. Everyone that ever has him for a doctor does nothing but sing his praises. How are you doing since surgery?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
