Oh me too! And Dr. Lopez bumped my surgery day up from 3/11 to 3/10. Idk why the one day change has me so excited but it does! :-D

You will love dr Lopez. He and his nurses are so cool.. Loved them. Tell Karen and Elizabeth hi for me. Don't forget the card that tells you have had the surgery so you can get discount or order off children's menu. And the girls will want a picture of you before you leave. The driver from airport to hotel is so funny. Ask him to take you shopping. And make sure you get some mexician vanilla.

Same as garcias. I read here that the liquid and 3 days of clear liquid was for RNY. Have you aske alma about that? I'd hate for you to do it when it wasn't necessary. Or me not to do it if it WAS!

I'm not using R4C. I'm using ALM. Also, I have high BMI. Thanx for looking out.

A must buy. Just make sure it goes into the checked bag. It is so very good. Makes nice gifts and is fairly inexpensive. The driver took us to Revolution Road to shop. And we went out to a nice seafood restaurant the first night for your spouses. Everything was very good.

      🥳 Jan 1 2025 - Day 1 of Pre Op, surgery on the 16th! 😬😅

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
