My bmi is also 31.9 however i have every comorbidity out there! I am an R.N. so i know that I need help and hope that the sleeve gives me some control. I am sure about the surgery and the surgeons but am curious about location. My sis will be with me for support so i am hoping she may be able to enjoy the trip alittle.

I will probably schedule for the 16 of Nov. However december would give me more time to save. Im not too sure yet but will be booking early next week.

You will love dr. Lopez!! He is kind, gracious and thorough. We just got home last night from Mexico it was an amazing experience . Try to get to know some other patients before you go, it will enrich your experience completely it will feel like a gasy vacation lol my husband and I had a blast the whole week. Ask your coordinator to hook you up. We used Ronda and she freaking rocks!!! Edourdo is a darling omgoodness I am so happy for you!! Good luck and have FUN!!

      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.
