March Sleevers Where are You



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled for February 21st, but I changed my surgery to March 11th (pending insurance approval). I've completed all my pre surg requirement and my information was submitted to the insurance company yesterday so I'm just waiting to hear back from them. Not too nervous about the approval but I am definitely nervous about the surgery. I've read some posts that horrified me, but you have to take the good with the bad, right! Good luck to everyone on their journey.

Thinking I'm going to have a March surgery date. Everything submitted to Insurance ( I hope). Just over a week ago was my last of 6 month supervised diet visits.. All pre op testing done.

Got a call from the Dr. office the end of the week wanting me to call... Can't wait to call Monday and see if she has my approval already! Gosh, if so, maybe I will get a February surgery date instead of my guess of March. :)

Is there anyone else that is having a conversion from Lapband?

      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.
