October 8th Surgery @ Mi Doctor with Dr. Lopez... Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Yes, yes... I know i just said October..but that was the soonest I could do the surgery due to my husband's work schedule. Is there anyone else scheduled far ahead like me? It would be nice to talk to others while waiting...such a looooong wait..I mean..not as bad compared to a 5 year wait out here in Canada when covered by Insurance.

Someone talk to me before i lose my marbles!

Hi Heather, Im from Alberta and I had surgery with Dr Lopez Oct 2012, but my surgery was in Puerto Vallarta. Dr Lopez is a wonderful Dr, I had no problems after the surgery and the hotel in PV was great. My experience was good, I was the only surgery that day and he came to see me in the evening and I had his cell number if I needed to talk to him, he even drove my husband back to the hotel that pm. His assistant Anakaren was around all day. The waiting is the worst part. It'll go fast and its worth it.

      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.
