Where are you having your surgery? Mine was done by Dr. Boorse at LVHN.

I was with Dr. Noonan! her! She is very spunky! I was blind sided with my original dr. My insurance would not cover it. Her team stepped up and got me in just in the nic of time and I could not be more thank-ful. Although the "hospital staff" could of been a lot better.

I had a great experience with their hospital staff! How long ago did you get your procedure done and how are you doing? I have had a rough past 6-7 months with family stuff and all and have taken a few steps backwards. Time to start over

@ wayne, I had mine on 11/22. Apparently everyone was "new" when I had mine. I am actually doing very well. I posted a bit earlier with my inches lost since surgery. I have dropped around 28lbs. I still have trouble with raw so I am staying away from it. I am still doing more soft foods than anything. I just had a conversation with a local that had the sleeve done and she is going to do a reboot. Same predicament that you are in. You can do it! We all support you.

Hi. I'm from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania. Schuylkill County. I'm getting mine done at Geisinger, Danville. Don't have a date yet.

I have been in the program before and have dropped out. Cold feet. Hopefully I will stick with it this time.

      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.
