Any Az sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for the 28th. I stared my pre op diet on Saturday and I'm really hungry but I know this is going to be worth it. I'm having surgery at St. Luke's in Phoenix.

Hi I live in AZ I recently decided to get the sleeve I saw my pcp and she referred me to Scottsdale healthcare . I called my insurance healthnet and a prior auth is needed before they approve it .

you will do great, they are really good at St Lukes, I had minimum pain, just walk as soon as you can and as much as you can. Not any gas pain in my chest and they must check for leaks during surgery because they didn't do it before discharge.

I am in Phoenix, I sleeved on 12/26/13, so still a newbie, any encouraging words would be AWESOME! I have a pretty awesome family support, but it's really tough as I was, AM a comfort eater & so having issues with finding a new outlet for when I am stressed. I had a major ankle surgery in september 2013 (2nd surgery on my right ankle) so am not quite ready for exercise over a bit of walking, but any ideas would be great!

Thanks!

Amber

Is this board still alive? How is everyone doing?

I have the sleeve done 6/5/14 and feeling great! I had a wonderful doctor, Dr. Orris from the LWIA, outpatient. Not once did I experience any pain. I'm near Queen Creek.

      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.
