Yep, I'm gong on my own (I was supposed to have my mom with me, but my dad got sick this weekend). Guess that's why I'm a bit nervous.

I had my surgery this afternoon (didn't think about how excruciating the wait would be when you don't go first!! Lol). In talking with Dr. Aceves.tonight, he said that I had a large amount of scar tissue on my stomach from my former lap band (got it in 2004, had it removed in 2008 because it was ruining my life). He said I made him work really hard during my surgery, because he released all the scar tissue, then removed it before actually making my sleeve. He said that not all surgeons take the time to do that. I am so overjoyed in choosing Dr. Aceves. I am hanging in there - the first day is the worst. Thank you so much for ALL the wonderful wishes of luck and positive thoughts that have been coming my way :D

Congrats! And don't forget to have fun while you're there! Ask your ordinator to take you shopping, sightseeing and maybe to the beach if you're up to it. We had a blast down there

      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.
