Where Is Everyone From?



Recommended Posts

Raised in Northern Virginia/Washington DC and went to boarding school in southern Virginia. I now reside in Pittsburgh, PA. (Everywhere I go it's the same thing- "You're not from around here, are you?!") ;)

Eunice La. But been living in Lafayette La for 9 years now.

We were down there a couple of years ago with the Savoir (sp?) family for the mardi gras run :) What a hoot! And the people were lovely.

I went Oct 24 to Spokane to Rockwood clinic. Great experience so far. My MD was great. I am doing follow up here with my family MD but will go back to Spokane in 6 months. Everyone was very supportive. Being an OR nurse myself I knew what I wanted in a doctor and Alaska just didn't have it. Where are you in Alaska? Did you have surgery here?

I am in Alaska and in Washington state so I had it in Washington. Specialty care is such a challenge in Alaska!

I'm glad you have good support there. It helps to be "in the business" though I'd bet.

I had the surgery with one doc and that went badly so I ended up with Virginia Mason and they're beyond fabulous. Kind of like Regional on steroids :) (I had my baby there and loved that hospital....if one can love a hospital LOL).

Are you in Anchorage?

      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.
