Got into the airport and Samuel (R4C) was there to meet me in a nice clean ford Arostar. I was his only pickup. He gave me some history and little facts as we drove to hotel.

Rosie the coordinator met me at the hotel and helped me check in and get to my room where she went over everything with me.

Had some broth and its not bad at all!! Gonna head to Walmart and explore. So far' date=' great experience. Marriott shuttle will escort to the hospital in the morning <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

More to come......[/quote']

Coolmama I am getting sleeved with Garcia February 2013 and I am going by myself. I'm really scared. How are you doing? Any suggestions for me on what to bring to the hospital and what not to bring since I'm traveling alone? Any info would be so helpful. Thanks! Hope your doing well!

I am planning on Feb 21. I had chosen that date because I had a sleeve buddy, now I'm thinking about changing it. Maybe for the week after. My daughters birthday is on the 24. I will be going alone also.

I'm looking at the 18th with dr. Garcia. I haven't paid my deposit yet though, so it's not set in stone.

Tell me about it! I'd prefer to fly out of CAK but it is cheaper in Cleveland.

      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.
