I just changed to Florence/Oasis hospital with Dr Garcia, I was concerned with overcrowding at MiDoctor and having to share a room so Melissa from r4ac offered florence. They also told me I can have same day surgery even though I am arriving in the afternoon so I have opted for that route. April 12th!! Maybe I will see you at the Marriot EMSJen?

I'm assuming you had your wls already and hope everything went well' date=' but if it helps any one else ill still answer your question, the meds that are needed for us specifically are given to us in a care package for free example pain and antibiotics and some liquid to help heal the stomach lining faster

But if you want meds for other things or some one else then the driver will take you, I booked thru alighterme and Abraham took us to a pharmacy he knows with great prices (I priced out other places b4 I went to where he took us) and I got penicillin 100 pills 500mg for 20, amoxicillin 100 pills 500mg for 25, phentermine 30 pills 30mg for 30, penicillin ointment jar 3, and pretty much any med you need they have and if you forgot your prescription they will wright one out for you for free so that you can get it across the border no questions asked

You can buy any meds at all? Lol

If you like to sight see or going with a friend YOU NEED DAY BEFORE. Seriously, you'll not want to go anywhere the few days after. Hopefully this gets to you in time ....

      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.
