Im on the 4th too. They asked me all of those things also. I asked the nurse why she was asking this. I had surgery at this hospital 4 years ago and they didnt ask any questions then. She said they want to know our wishes but they should never need to use this information.

Hi fellow 4th'ers! They asked me those questions too, hopefully they won't need that info on any of us!

The hospital just called to preregister me for my surgery on the 4th. They asked next of kin, if I am an organ donor, and if I have a living will. Now I am terrified!

I think it's probably SOP these days. Admittedly, it does make one somewhat nervous, but we've always known that nothing in life is certain when it comes to surgery, (or most things for that matter), and I'm sure the hospital wants to cover all the bases, no matter how remote the chances may be. If I die in surgery, C'est la vie. Have a nice time with my parts.

      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.
