So again how long b4 I can be a housewife fully again. I just got surgery on the 7th and I feel it's been a year. Pls someone explain to me.

I went in today and my doc was a complete jerk off he basically told me while I was in tears from the pain that he wasn't gonna second guess the other doctor who's not a rny specialist and that my ct scan was fine and didn't prescibe me anything for pain and suggested that I take milk of magnisa or whatever and use a heating pad and I explained my urine color and had to ask for the urinalist and he also got more blood work on my... I feel like I'm going crazy and noone belives me but I freaken know my body and I know somethings wronge but what do I do when I feel the world has its back turned on me :-(

Change to another dr. Get ranking for cuts serv. health grades.com call from list of reg and RnY dr on insurance provider list when u call insurance and call those dr offices and state u need an attentive dr that is respectful. I had to change my PCP for one that actually ran the right tests and referred me to actual specialists, etc. for my head and other serious health condition to be diagnosed ( I was told later that if it had gone on it may have lead to death). I had to demand it and switched my kids out of that dr office too. Do what u need to!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
