Approved! Surgery is on for 1/31!



Recommended Posts

I called my Drs office today to see if I was approved as I have to line up help for my kids and I did not want to do it unless surgery was a definite go. And I had been approved! Yikes. This is getting real.

Tomorrow I go to my PCP to get my surgical clearance and then that's it. WOW. I am scared, nervous and ready!!

Now to get the remainder of things for the Pre-Op diet, do my measurements, before pics, get some food made and frozen for DH and the kids.

While you are recovering I think it is an excellent time, when available, to send the hubby & kids off to aunites or granny's to eat. :P

Thanks everyone! I am sure the Grnadmas will help, once I tell them about the surgery. But, my kids have special needs so eating at home is just easier on us all.

I am soooo nrvous.. My mom is going to be mad. I am almost 40 and I am worried about telling my mom!

Today i completed my pre op exams. i had to drive 3 hrs to the hospital and i had blood drawn, urine sample, ekg, chest xray and talk with nutritionist. i didnt have to do the test where they insert a cam down my throat and look at my stomach,(whew). now i just have to wait to the 31st for my sleeve day, i will be getting the spider technique with 1 incision. i will stay in the hospital for 1 day and released the following day. then i will have a 3 hour ride back home after surgery. the nurse said i will have to stop each hour and walk to keep my stomach from getting stiff. i hope and pray i am in minimal pain.

      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.
