Well the insurance part is. yay! I have been approved and I am scheduled for 06/25 but I had an egd done wed. And they discovered that I have an irregular heartbeat so I have to get cardiac clearance to do the surgery. It runs in my family but I did not think I had it. I was lucky in that I got an appt Mon with a Cardiologist and I am hoping it will only take a few days to get cleared. Cutting it too close for comfort. I won't be satisfied until I am I'm the recovery room and my surgeon tells me he has successfully removed my band and sleeved me...lol i hope you know I wasn't saying that to diminish how you feel in any way. I was letting you know that sometimes the battles are long and hard but don't give up! I am tired of fighting but who else is gonna fight for me and my health....

So sorry to hear this :( I can imagine how you must feel, because I know what an impatient person I am, and I'd be beside myself. But from a clinical standpoint, it is the best thing to have found this and treat it. Both of those diagnosis would have a major impact on you and your recovery. Even going in with a perfectly healthy Iron level, it can quickly become too low, which is a common problem post op. This way you will be in the best of health and set yourself up for full recovery and weight loss success. Hang on just a little more, and hope you are feeling better soon! (PS - and make sure you take those iron pills correctly to get the maximum benefit/absorption :) )

I wonder if its still the ulcers they are worrying about, could they be bleeding?? I know ulcers are something they are really concerned about post-op. According to my surgeon that is the reason for no caffeine right after surgery, they are concerned about our developing ulcers along the staple line from the acid from coffee.< /p>

      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.
