My story is actually boring...



Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is April and I'm an Oklahoma girl :) I was actually a member on here previously (strangelynormal-yes, that's me with the hot pink hair) but once I tried to sign back in I couldn't because I no longer had access to the previous email. It was just a hassle so I said screw it and created this account.

I was almost a self-pay in Mexico, but lo and behold, I finally had insurance that covers the sleeve... so I didn't go that route.

I have a few more appointments and then I'll be sleeved in either Dec or Jan.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I have learned a lot from this forum and appreciate all of the help it offers.

Laters :)

Thanks, I was pretty thrilled about it. Weird how fate intervenes and changes everything.

Sorry, your best bet is to call your insurance company. Mine is Medicare Humana Gold. I went straight to my bariatric center and they did everything for me, though.

      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.
