Where Is Everyone From?

Nichole,

Don't I know it:) I started my process Jan. 5. My I insurance doesn't require all the bs some do. At my initial consultation I was told I'd be having surgery by March 1st. Because of waiting for Dr DiMarco I didn't have it until June 7th;) Is Dr Prashar one of his partners?

My insurance doesn't require much either. I think Dr. Prashar is a newer Dr to the WLC. But I met with him on Tuesday n he was very nice, explained everything so well n even told me things like how many procedures he has done. So I feel very confident with him. I am hoping that It won't be much longer till I'm approved n can get a surgery date. When did they give u a date?

I think it went: intake appt, meet with dr weiger, meet with dr DiMarco, nutrition appt. At the end of the nutrition appt they gave me a choice of 3 dates. I also got my first post op appt scheduled at that time. But that may have been because DiMarco is only in the office on Monday. I think I may have met Dr Prashar when I was discharged.

A million years ago I had a boyfriend that lived in Fraser :)

I loved him he's very straight forward and tells it like it is. That's what I loved about him. When is your surgery date

I do not have one yet, but I am scheduled for all of my pre op stuff in the next two weeks. Nutrition on the 10th, Psych on the 18th, and endoscopy on the 25th! And then I guess insurance approval after that.

      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.
