How exciting' date=' good luck to you everything will be for god willing. I still can't believe that I'm just a day away from my surgery. The hospital called me yesterday to confirm the surgery time and as I'm speaking to the nurse I had to pinch myself to believe that this is so real. This change that will come to my life I know it's a lot of work and dedication but I'm ready for it.

Surgery date Monday Feb4, 2013 that will be a date that I will never forget. :) good luck to you again. And hope to stay in touch, this forum have really helped me a lot and have answer many of my questions. Thanks to all of you guys for sharing your experiences with all of us here. :)[/quote']

Good luck tomorrow Iwill pray for your speedy recovery.

They have to, it's HIPPA, law. You can specifically say they may only speak to you and put a notice on your chart and on their patient board that's usually by nurses station. I have similar stipulations and two people named as my healthcare agents for advance directive purposes, in case of emergency issues ( hubby & mom).

Just state it and repeat it. When you show you you have knowledge and are serious they will take notice ( nurses and docs), whereas sometimes they ignore people.

      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.
