No my surgeon is Dr. Diaz. I was on a limb between him and Dr. Evanson though. Lol My mom had dr. Caccuci (sp???) and wasn't happy with her so I knew I wanted to go with someone else so I started asking around. I took whoever could get me in for my consult the soonest. Lol

Hi all! I am in Indy and I'm also with Dr Evanson. I just got my testing date, too! It's May 27th! Any idea how long it takes to get a surgery date after testing? I'm really hoping for late June.

I have my testing on Friday, so i am hoping to get a date right after that. Hopefully we all have our surgeries close together. Maybe we will be in Pre-op classes together. :)

I'm in Washington! (: There are quite a few us here who are doing online support groups because there aren't any physical groups anywhere near us. I've thought about starting a support group but I didn't know where to begin! (:

      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.
