I will also be there June 11th same Dr. Garcia and same hosptial also florence. I also used Ready 4 a Change and I have had the best experience so far. And it is correct it is and extra 500.00 per any BMI over 50 then the same if your over the BMI of 60 which was me. So all together I had to pay an extra 1000.00 . All worth it to me, its is just the beginning steps on the road to my transformation. :rolleyes:

Does Dr. Garcia use regular stitches to close up the holes in your stomach or does he use dissolvable stitches?

Thank you for writing this!! I'm headed down Thursday same hospital and Dr. That's fantastic to hear they will call my husband and tell him everything went okay!! I'm glad to hear everything went so well for you and I hope I have a very similar experience.

I saw you down there! How are you doing now?

      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.
