I got my surgery date today April 15! I bought all the stuff they wanted me to buy. Protein powders' date=' Vitamins, Protein Shots etc. It came to 328!! OMG I hope this will last me for awhile. I don't like paying so much but I will do whatever they want to have the surgery. I am so excited. I can't believe I am really doing this after thinking about this for so long. Good luck to all of the April sleevers.[/quote']

Good luck to you, too !

Because that's when it was, they moved it up due to a severe hernia. And that's just fine by me. ;-). And I don't know how to change it... LOL

I got my date today APRIL 17 .

Of course I am nervous but I have to do this for myself.

My husband is supportative but today he said if it were him he would not do it.

He does not want to tell me it is a good thing in case I complain later and blame him for any problems.

Lets do this all together and make friends throough this new journey. I have never like to travel alone.

I don't have a husband or a boyfriend, and I usually like to travel alone but this time I need people. I'm lucky that I have the support of most of my friends and family, but I'm a little heartbroken that my mom wants nothing to do with it. I asked her if she'd be here for my surgery (she lives 90 minutes away) and she said, "Oh, that's a Wednesday? I probably have to work that day." SHE WORKS FOR MY BROTHER IN LAW, who would be MORE than willing to give her time off to come and be with me. Ugh.

Well, my mom is encouraging me but is 85 so she can not come.

I have not told any friends because of all the questions.

I am planning to tell my children on Easter sunday when they are both in my hometown.

I am in Louisiana and doing this as private pay. I am 63 years old and weigh 234 pounds and am 5 fee tall.

      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.
