Just revd a call the hospital wants another cardiac clearence letter seen it has to be within 30 days of surgery and the 18th is around the corner. I believe it will not be a issues since my heart doctor was the one who referred me for weight loss surgery and he wrote one before, but its been a while and my surgery date got changed from May 28th...So its just one other way of making sure I'm ok for surgery and I'm cool with that...glad they caught it!!!!

Taking, I'm not June anymore. After submitting all that was required, per insurance list, they called the office and added 2 things. I now have to get pulmonary and cardiac clearances before I can be approved. Did i mention i have zero pulmonary history? Then my doctor is scheduling a month out. Oh well. By a miracle, I got a pulmonary appointment in 2 days. Today I have my last hurdle, the stress echo for the cardiac clearance. I'm hoping now for July, but I will be keeping up with you June sleepers:). I'm excited for you. Elaine

Hi all!

Was sleeved Tues 06/04. Doing Well. Hospital staff and surgeon were wonderful. In some discomfort from incisions. My main problem is the heartburn. I never had it in my life, but boy am I making up for lost time! My bariatric RN called to check on me today and she said that the Isopure causes the heartburn. I only have one more day on that, then my Protein shakes. So I can tough it out! It is hard to get down all that liquid!

Blessings to all my sleeve siblings!

I was sleeved on June 3rd, and I'm feeling great! I have lots of energy, and I'm able to drink a little more fluids each day. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet, and I'm down a total of 10 pounds so far.

I was sleeved June 5th no gas pain and tolerable incision pain. The only thing that kept me up last night/this morning was my arms had this burning pain. Feeling much better. How are you all doing with your liquid intake ? I don't seem to have room in my new stomach!

My surgery is Wednesday, too. Diet has gone well. Down 5 as of this morning. As for calm....mine is breaking. Starting to get nervous. I can do this!!!

I'm with you on that one, I go in Wednesday as well and I'm getting very nervous. I thought i would be good seeingthat I have had surgery before, but I think the thing that is scaring me is the thought of the change.

      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.
