Ohhk so right after my post I visit my primary doctor and was excited to talk about my new journey! I was so disappointed he dismissed the idea told me he has no idea about anything on the surgery and we never talked about weight loss!! Plus he dismissed me for missing 3 appt now I gotta find a new primary and start over.

Have you looked into having the surgery in Mexico? It is actually priced in a way it can be affordable and they do great work and treat you like royalty. I'm scheduled for surgery in Tijuana on 1/31. My friend had her surgery there in May and did great.

I'm not sure where that program is. I'm going to Garcia. The total was 4700, I paid 500 deposit to set a date and will pay the balance when I arrive. That includes transportation and Hoyle stay as well. We only had to buy plane tickets to Sand Diego.

Awesome, I'm Charlotte NC as well. Who's your surgeon? I'll be sleeved on feb 6th with Dr. Villanueva at Mercy Hospital

My surgeon is Dr Kuwada. I will also be at Mercy. I've heard nothing but good things from people who have had their surgery there.

      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.
