Recommended Posts

Little nervous, have everything set and ready to go but the surgeons office submitted aproval for gastric bypass with a 6 day stay in hospital :/

I want to have VSG not RnY. I wander if they just submit the most invasive just to see ? I have not seen surgeon in months. He said at that time , I didn't need to make a decision on what kind of bariatric surgery I wanted. I was still on the fence at that time .

Going to all office first thing Monday but has this happened to anyone else?

Go for the sleeve if you can. I was done on may 1st down 45 lbs. I am also an RN and the bypass has too many side effects. I have taken care of people with issues and work with several. Girls who had it and have had problems. The sleeve only makes your stomach smaller think about it

I called bariatric coordinator this morning & she said it should be fine because I was already approved for RNY , they will just resubmit for sleeve. So stay tooned :/ I do not want Rny & hope all goes well with sleeve approval.

      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.
