Recommended Posts

Im trying to find anyone that had surgery in Killeen. Im trying to find out where do i do my pre op tests at in Killeen. Im having surgery in Dallas, Tx. But I really dont want to drive all the way over there to do my pre op tests. If I have to I then I'll do it, but I can't drive in that big city. My husband took me for consult and seminar. But he cant get off til I have surgery.

I am so new to this I'm not even sure of what pre-op tests are needed but I would think Temple, Austin or Waco would be able to do most testing. Sorry if that isnt much help as I said its all so new to me.

Hi I am from Temple! Right down the road! Are you military? Who is your PCP with? If they are Scott and White you can go to the numerous clinics they have for all your testing and just get an ROI filed out and have everything sent to Dallas. I worked at the main S&W Killeen for a couple of years. If you have any questions I am more than happy to help as much as I can. I had my done in Austin 2 months ago! I LOVE my sleeve!

Do I have to go thru my pcp to schedule or can I just call the scott and white clinic to schedule these pre op tests?

      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.
