I'm scheduled for 10/23 at Faulkner hospital with dr cheung. Anyone have her? I'm really hoping to be able to have the sleeve. I mentioned I had some intermittent heartburn (mostly since my last pregnancy) so they did an upper gi. Showed some excess acid which got me a ticket for a motility test. Waiting on the date of that but not too excited about having it done--doesn't look pleasant! Anyone with similar issues? The heartburn is not bad. Seems to come in spurts but noting some Zantac hasn't been able to handle. Thanks for any input!

Hey, Jennifer! There don't seem to be too many on here from the Boston area....but I am one! I live in Arlington, and had my procedure done at Beth Israel Deaconess, in June. Welcome!

      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.
