I had my first visit yesterday. I was expecting to maybe have surgery 6 months down the road. I was told yesterday that I could expect July or August. Mostly it will depend on when I can get in for the psych eval. I've thought about surgery for many years but my insurance would never cover it. My husband had been saving $ for us to go to Costa Rica. But his insurance now covers bariatric surgery and all of my previous diet attempts count towards the 6 month diet. So now I'm both nervous and excited.

I'm from Massachusetts, being sleeved at Tobey Hospital in Wareham, MA. At my last surgeon consult, I was told to expect approval in late June/early July, with an official surgery date sometime in July...it's really happening! I'm itching to get that date set in stone, it's so hard to be a patient patient.

So what is everyone doing to prepare? Are you neurotic like me and already thinking about what to take to the hospital? :D And did someone say there's a Facebook page for July sleevers? I'd love to be added to it!

Dr Q is Dr. Quinones, its easier to say Dr Q! I will not be at the marriott =/ i stay 2 days at a hospital and then go to the Real del Rio Hotel in Tijuana. Maybe its close by??

      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.
