Last appt with surgeon



Recommended Posts

Well after 4 months of supervised nut classes and 1 psych eval, tomorrow I meet with the surgeon for my last appt before surgery. I do not have date set yet because surgeon will have to send all my info to my insur company and then I just need to wait for approval. It will be here before I know it!

What are some things you asked your surgeon before surgery?

I haven't had my surgery yet either. I've met with my surgeon, had my first appointment with my nutritionist, had my psych veal today and my second appointment with the nutritionist next week. They will submit to my insurance after that. I've been making a list of questions.

I want to know about recovery time, drain tubes, swimming afterwards...things like 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.
