Baptist is a great hospital they treat Drs Bakers patient very good!!! The biggest thing Dr.Baker won't let you leave until you have a bowl movement. Yikes!!! I know I was ready to go but everything was well worth it. I recommend to just walk walk walk its doesn't matter whatever hrs they just want you up and at it. It really relieves the pain and gas.

Wow my appointment was at 8:30 today. Courtney was supposed to email me paperwork yesterday to fill out and bring with me. She forgot. So I got the paperwork when I got there, AND had to call my husband to come there because he was supposed to go with me and I didn't know. So I had to wait on him to get there before Dr. Baker would come in and talk to me.

The consult with Dr. Baker went well. Courtney set me up to do my SPA today too. So I went to Baptist at 11:30 and left there at 1:30. It was an all day ordeal, BUT I am approved and I am excited!!

Did you take your PJs and change into them? I don't really want to walk the halls in a hospital gown. AND I had rather have a bowel movement. I probably can move those quicker than I can a bowl. LOL

Well I use to could but not anymore. My pre op was like 2 pm then went for my spa I didn't get out of there until 5. They do take forever. I just wore a gown and a robe if you have a drainage tube u won't want it bothered. That thing is no joke. It hurt all the way up to my shoulder funniest part was when the nurse removed it my husband almost passed out. Congrats on getting approved!!!

They took my cath out pretty quick. He had me up and walking a few hours after I woke up. The hardest part is nothing by mouth the entire day of surgery. Next day you get ice chips which by then is like heaven!

He told me I would have nothing on the day of surgery. At 10:00 the 2nd day they would give me ice chips and take the cath out. Do I walk the 1st day??

      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.
