Everything Is Happening So Fast...



Recommended Posts

These last 24 hours have been crazy. For some who might remember back in September I was diagnosed with Barretts and told I could either have rny or find a new surgeon who would still do the surgery. Well I got a second opinion and I do not have Barretts! The test was wrong. My Dr called me at 8pm last night at home to discuss and said I could have the surgery.

So I went from probably not having it to they submitted my case to insurance today!

Wow I'm a mixed bag of emotions right now!!!!

I just had to share with you all. I will hopefully be sleeved by the end of the year. Woohoo.

I was diagnosed with Barrett's prior to my sleeve, though my surgeon was not intimidated by it. Also, what he found was not a full blown inflammation. I'm glad that your diagnoses was a fluke! Unfortunetly, it runs in my family. :(

Yeah my barbaric surgeon said Barretts is a contraindication for the sleeve and he wouldn't do it and won't do it for anyone that has it. He is a great guy and I really wanted him to perform mine. So when all his happened I of course was so excited :)

But now I'm also scared lol. It's all so real now.

You'll be fine!! After I made it through the rough Patches, I can 100% say it is the best thing I could have done for myself. And I'm still in the middle of my journey. You will hit rough spots, and you will question several times in the first couple of months right after the famous question, "What the hell have I done?!" But, when everyone on here tells you, "It gets better." They really mean that. It does, and it will. I'm reminding myself that right now as I go through the last scary thing I hope I face, which is the scary hairloss. I'm 2 months into it, hoping this month I see it slow down or stop. Congratulations!! :)

      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.
