Carrie P - woo hoo! Your deductible is fantastic and I'm excited that your insurance is covering it! Hope to have surgery in late February.

Right now' date=' this all-consuming obession with VSG is getting the best of me! I'm making myself crazy with research, planning, and prepping for surgery. And its THREE MONTHS AWAY! I feel like a crazy woman....there are nights I can't fall asleep for thinking about this! Ha ha! Worse than a little kid - he he....

Hugs to you![/quote']

YES!!!! Like you, I'm so excited - did I say EXCITED?! - that I can do little else but think about this surgery. Believe my excitement is a huge believe that this surgery will work to help me lose the weight and regain a healthy lifestyle.

Just saying hello to everyone :) I was given a tentative surgery date of February 13th the other day and I'm extremely excited. I'm a married mother of 3 girls 14, 7 and 5. I live in NJ and I'm having my surgery done by Dr Rohit Patel at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. I just finished my first round of pre-op testing. So, I'm about to start round 2 with psych, nutriion and education I'm told. Glad to have found others getting sleeved in Feb as well!

Also crossing my fingers and hoping Amerihealth cooperates :unsure:

Hello all! I am 38 weigh 387 with a BMI of 51. I have been big all my life. I have played college football and have never been able to lose the weight. I am to the point of frustration. I am also doing this with my wife. She gets sleeved on January 16th. I love this site and the support we give each other. I look forward to getting to know everyone and helping each other be successful.

      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.
