I live in Lincoln- I am leaning towards surgery in North Platte- I have an appointment the end of July - it's like an all day class for out of town patients-

Meet with the medical team, billing and nutritionist-

My BCBS plan through work doesn't cover WLS, and I work in the medical field- I didn't want everyone to know that I work with-- deciding if I will even tell my work and gagging how much time I will need off-

How are you doing after surgery?? How is your recovery? Is there anything that you are surprised about?

Did you have surgery at UNMC?

I would love to follow you on your journey- sorry that I'm steps behind you- I have thought about this for years- lap band just didn't feel right-

Sleeve feels perfect for what I need to do for me.

I am 5'3-- 232

Goal for me is like 135 --when I get that number in sight- it might change-

Hopeful for a new me!!

Jansleeve1,

I had my surgery in North Platte. I had a great experience. You should request Dr. Siep. He's the best!

That's who I am requesting- he did some surgeries on my niece ,( not for weight loss) but he pretty much saved her life-

I live in Lincoln- have not heard very good things about the 3 docs here that do the surgery- my ins doesn't cover it-

I grew up in Paxton- so I will recoup a week at my moms -

Can you tell me how often your follow ups are, and do you think I could take 2 weeks off from work- or would I need more time- I don't have lifting at my job- but it is busy and I have to be up and down a lot and on my feet-

I'm debating if I tell my work HR dept and supervisor- I really don't want them to know- but if I would need more time off - I don't want to tell them later-

How do you feel like you are doing? When did you have surgery, how are you doing with eating? Do you still drink shakes at all??

      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.
