Yes, we were both there. His surgery got moved back, so glad it did. Another young lady who was also there had her surgery last week at the "Doctors Hospital" which she said was awful. Her husband could not get her out of there fast enough. I didn't get any details other than the fact that it was bad. I'm very happy that we will be at St. Joseph's.

Pls. Keep me posted on your progress, best always!

Hello Tarabby & Malq' date=' I hope your surgery went well, waiting to hear about your recovery. I really hope it was easy and breezy for you.

I am also going through Dr. Pleatman at St. Joseph's. Did either of you have a drain bag? I'm reading and hearing about it and not sure if everyone goes home with it.

Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery! :)[/quote']

Surgery when really good! I only had to stay one night in the hospital and I am home now. Not much of an appetite so it's hard to get down a shake but I feel surprisingly good. Doing way better than I expected :) was having a hard time peeing post op but that seems to have resolved itself. Just taking it easy and lots of testing. When is your surgery??

Oh and no drain bag! He thought I would need one since my surgery was a revision from the lap band, but it went better than even Dr Pleatman expected :) he's definitely the right dr to go to for this. I couldn't be happier :)

      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.
