Getting sleeved in Sept



Recommended Posts

I am also scheduled for 9/9. I had a very bad headache yesterday and tried some warm broth and it helped. Not sure if it was the warmth but I'll take it. FYI..the broth was Swanson-Mexican Tortilla soup-infused broth. Nice change from plain broth! Good luck!

Hello Pattie 1966. ,

Had my surgery yesterday with Dr Garcia st florence Oasis Hospital... The procedure went very very good. , I was informed of everything prior , then after procedure they have me pain meds . I was feeling lots of pain in stomachs because I had the revision from lap band done and they stated that there was dome scar tissue so this was the cause for the pain. But besides that everything else has been a very positive experience ! Dr Garcia and his team are wonderful and very professional , the hospital very clean and modern , The staff is constantly checking on me . Very professional . The Marriott very clean and nice , the people are do friendly. They only negative is you don't speak any Spanish they misunderstand you sometimes but they can always find someone to translate nearby .

Other than that it has been a terror experience don't you worry they take care of you from the moment you land all the way till you Go home ..

I leave from Marriott Friday am maybe we'll see each other . On that note keep the shakes going

Pattie

Regards Flashferreira. ( Steve)

Steve thank you so much for the update. I was wondering how you where doing. I'm glad it went good for you. I'm just now starting to get a little anxious about the whole thing so you have reassusred me a lot. I'm on day 11 of my pre op and I'm down 16 lbs. It hsn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be. I don't think I'm going to get to see you. I fly in on Thurs and surgery is on friday. If we dont get to meet I wish you the best with your jorney.

      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.
