For those of you who were prescribed Zofran ODT' date=' did you have to get an insurance approval for it? My pharmacy is walgreen's and they are requiring pre-authorization from my doctors office and insurance. I'm guessing its expensive?![/quote']

Mine prescribed it and went to pharmacy and only paid $7

Looking for some advice here. I woke up yesterday with an insanely hurting wisdom tooth. Hurts to swallow' date=' can't open my mouth very wide, tooth kind of swollen. Having my surgery in 4 days. I WILL have this surgery. I'm concerned about this tooth though. Will this affect anything? I haven't been taking anything for it and I do have a dental appointment in a few weeks. This is making me nervous. Why does this have to happen now? Ugh :([/quote']

I had an abscess my surgery was may 24th and it was moved to June 19 they don't like TO operate when you have an infection. Plus its safer for you, teeth are serious

Wishing you well

Question here...I was sleeved on the 11th. Have had no major pain issues and having no problem with getting the fluids down. Doc fixed a hiatal hernia at the same time. Anyone else not having Fluid intake problems?

Its not the pharmacy who is requiring the PA, its your insurance. Your MD will have to submit medical necessity to your insurance. Should have no problem getting approved.

No fluid intake issues here. Especially Water. I definitely have restriction with broths but nothing uncomfortable because I stop quick.

Hi there I am on day 11 sleeved on the 6th and also had a hiatal hernia fixed. I am the same. Thankfully. I have had no problems getting things down. In fact it has made me feel like maybe they left my stomach too big. No major pain issues either. I think we must be very lucky.

I was thinking the same thing about my stomach. Guess I worry too much. Glad we and others are doing so well. Wish everyone could feel like I feel.

Ok so I ate some food yesterday for the first time. I feel so much better. Today I drank a carnation instant sf Breakfast drink with some soy milk and ate mashed potatoes twice today. I had a great day and even went for a walk. So believe that man cannot live on Water alone. I am so happy ready to go out and have a good day tomorrow. Tomorrow I may go to the beach and watch the sunset or may be go watch the sun rise on Wednesday. Never knew that food was such good fuel. I sound like a kid who drank a big cup of coffee. No caffeine here. Thank you God!!!!! I am myself again.

      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.
