Medical Clearance Approved For Gastric Bypass!



Recommended Posts

Two weeks ago I finally got all my medical data and medical clearance all together after almost a year to the insurance company. My insurance approved me within' 4 business days. When my surgeon office called me I was excited and overwhelmed with the news. They said they were going to send me a letter. Last Friday I received the letter and it read that my surgery date is September 12. On Tuesday got a call from the hospital asking me to come in for pre testing. I asked them if I could go on Thursday the 6th because my job keep denying my days off. Finally I did everything and all I could do is think and dream about the sugery. I told my job (not ask or request) that I'am taking off for surgery and I got the forms from the human resource dept. for a medical leave and I dropped the forms at the doctors office. My family are so excited and they are even following my pre op diet also. They are so supportive! They said they are going to lose weight with me too! Yesterday was my last day of work and my co worker gave me this prayer for my sugery. I want to share it also for the others on this board that are having the surgery too...

PRAYERS FOR THE HEALING

WHEN A LOVED ONE IS ILL

God, my loved one is ill. I ask for your healing power to come upon them. You give us life and you have the power to renew life. I believe in your power to heal. Open my loved one to whatever form your healing power takes. And help me remember that, no matter what happens, you are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You are always with us. Amen.

With God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)

FOR MY DOCTOR

Thank you God, for my doctor. Thank you for his/her skills and training. Give her the insight he/she needs to diagnose my illness and determine the right treatment. Steady his/her hand and give his/her the power to heal in your name. Amen.

And all who touched him were healed. (Mark 6:56)

I'm fine thank you for asking. I just returned to work on Tuesday and I still feel a discomfort on my upper abdomen area. I seen the cardiologist last week and he ran more tests on me and I'm going to see him on the 10th. On the 11th I'm going to see the surgeon again. I still can't believe what happened to me. Some people really think I did the surgey because I lost some weight. This time I'm not going to say nothing to anybody and just do the surgery. I' m only going to tell u and everybody else here in this forum. But will definitely keep you posted :-)

      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.
