Pre Op Pcp Clearance Jitters Surgery Scheduled Might Be Canceled....



Recommended Posts

as anxious and excited as i am there is still a chance i could not have this surgery. although i have been approved by insurance and cleared by surgeon and have a surgery date. my PCP still has to clear me.

i have an appointment with her at 1:00pm tomorrow. she is pricking my finger to test my blood sugar levels for the past 3 months. if they were elevated or if anything looks high or abnormal she wont clear me for surgery. (mind you i have never been diagnosed with diabetes or put on medication for it.

i don't understand this because i have had my blood sugar levels tested a lot the past couple of months (twice). i just made the mistake of going after a work party where we had cupcakes and Cookies this was on october 19th before i even started my pre op diet . i did my bloodwork literally a half an hour after leaving work that day.

i just hope and pray that God is on my side tomorrow and shows beautiful numbers. although i am on my liquid diet, i will be fasting with lemon juice and Water until after my appointment. i want a good weigh in weight and i am worried about the sugar contained in the Atkins Protein shakes my surgeon has me on, i don't want to take any chances.

i cant help but be worried but i am trying to stay positive and hope for the best. if anyone sees this. pray for your sleeve sister that this WILL happen for me and be the best birthday present to myself EVER!!!!

OMG the clearance went good bur was soooooo pointless!!!! All she did was give me the paper for blood work and urine? ????? She could have called this in! And now the results can take up to 3 days. She was very nice and confident that I will be cleared so I can continue being excited and sleep good tonight! !!

      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.
