Recommended Posts

Happy for you. Bummer for me, I am the week after on the 19th. Who is your coordinator? I would love to hear how things go. I have Dr. Valenzuela also. Happy preperation.

Thanks! My coordinator is Cindy. She has been awesome. Very quick to respond to anything and everything, phone or email. I will probably make a post once I am there and do a play by play update. Or maybe even make a twitter. I wish more people would do that! It certainly helps to know what's going on beforehand and what people's impressions are.

That would be awesome. Yes, it would be helpful if more people would let us know from the hospital how things are going. Then again, they are probably just trying to get through the recovery the first day and adjusting. I have never had major surgery, so I have no idea. I am hoping to not feel too bad, so I can have a little enjoyment while I am off work. Good luck.

Hi Everyone!

I am having VSG in TJ on Sept 2nd. I know there were some responses but I just can't seem to find it where there were some of you going to Mexico for surgery on 9/2. I would love to put a group of friends together in my email so we can chit chat and help each other on our journey. I know there is a Facebook page out there, however I am really computer challenged. I would love to get that link to the facebook page again or reply to this and I will send you my email address. I think the more people I have around me the better I will be when I am having one of those days!

Thanks for all the help

Bon

Waiting for Approval from my insurance but was told surgery date should be September 9th in the Lone Star State :)

I received a sample pack of the Bariatric Advantage products, but will be looking and comparing other products too. I do have a questing about the 2 week liquid diet, during that period did anyone still take their prescribed medications. Mine are Metformin, BloodPressure, anti acid.

      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.
