I'm a firm believer that all things happen in God's time even when you don't understand. Last May I decided to look into Bariatric surgery. For various reasons I couldn't do anything until the end of last year. I thought o.k! But a trip to my cardiologist put it on hold. I thought no problem we'll see what happens about Christmas. On the 21st I sent in my paper work and sat back to wait. On New Year's day I started hemoraging, ended in the hospital for five days. Got out but was still having some problems. I had checked with my coordinator and was told my benefit papers were suppose to be here by next week. There is no way I can have the surgery until we find what was causing the bleeding problem. So hubby and I went to my gyn today only to hear words you never want to hear. "Deb, the biopsy was positive." It seems like I am in the very beginning stage of uterine cancer and hopefully Wednesday they will do a total hysterectomy and get it all.

This wasn't my plan. Mine was to have VSG loose 100 lbs and then have the total but as I said God's Time isn't my time. I'm not giving up I'm just going to wait for the right time. Good luck to all who are going to get their sleeves and please say a prayer or two for me until I too can join the looser's side.

So sorry, Deb and I'm sending you my prayers for a speedy and total recovery. While I had a year delay from when I originally wanted the surgery, I finally did it this in December. I pray that you will be in a position to be looking forward to your sleeve surgery when the time is right!

Hi all, I'm back home and at the computer for awhile anyway. Everything went great. Dr. Rushing said I lost about 5 lbs with this surgery as it was a rather large tumor but there was no sign of cancer cells when he was done. I'm pretty sore but that is to be expected although I am healing up pretty good. No rushing it though. Now if everything goes good and the Good Lord wills it, I'm looking at going back in about Sept. to start the VGS process.

Thanks to all of you for you kind thoughts and prayers. They were really appreciated.

Deb

      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.
