I used to live a mile from Zona Rosa. I now live 20 minutes west of the Legends area.

I will also be having surgery at Saint Lukes on the Plaza. I have my last class in Sept and then submitting to insurance.

I'm now stressing that I can have surgery before the end of the year! :)

SD2013 welcome, welcome, welcome you have found a great sight for support, information, ranting, and questions. I am basically a Kansas girl only moving to Missouri 13 years ago. So I am quite familiar of the general area you are now living vs Zona Rosa. If your surgeon is not completely booked until the end of the year I would say if you met everything he/she requires and what the insurance requires you possibly would be looking at surgery before the first of the year. Sorry though that would stress you, but understand because of the holiday time frame. It can be difficult this time of the year because you are learning a whole new way of eating. Since I was a bander I have been through the process so eating habits are not my issue but I was stressing because I thought I would have to wait until October and trying to keep off from what I had already lost having the band was beginning to freak me out. But basically as promised the doctor said I would only have to wait two months from band removal and it will only be 2 1/2 months so not too bad. With all this being said if you need any help, support, questions please don't hesitate to ask. You have come to a great site loaded with a lot of supportive people. Once again welcome aboard and keep us posted.

I'm from the Kansas City area. I had the RNY on Aug18'2014 at St Lukes on the Plaza. Dr. Price did an amazing job. I had a lot of scar tissue and adhesions he removed before he could do the rny. After almost five hours in surgery he finished everything up.

      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.
