Its all becoming real now....preop testing tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Oh my!!! Preop testing tomorrow...labs, Chest Xray, EKG and Upper GI. Its all becoming so real...exciting, nervous, stressed, worried...but mostly ready to start my new healthy life!! My last 2 worries are that something will show up on preop that will delay my surgery or that my liver won't be small enough surgery day....

Had my preop last Friday and surgery Monday! My surgeons do the upper GI just before surgery ....wonder how different that is? Any issues and they abandon surgery! I.e. you've eaten and there's food in there it like me have gastroparisis (sp?) And fear there will be food there!

Btw, we also have a lot on common, not only r our surgery dates the same, but I have pcos since I was 12 and am insulin resistant and take metformin. Pcos is a major reason I am doing the sleeve, however I wonder if pcos will slow our weight loss down a s compared to other women who don't have it. What do you think? Btw, I have 70 lbs to lose to get to my goal.

I doubt it. . Im 50 now and my pcos turned into diabetes 15+ years ago. I was super successful losing weight on low Carb. ...just couldn't stick with it long term!

Good luck to you and let's hope the surgery/weight loss will take away the diabetes!

      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.
