December Surgeries!?!?!?



Recommended Posts

Thanks SoccerMomma73 and RDCLambert! To RDCLambert' date=' I believe you've done everything you can do for now. I don't know your husband or any other support people you have in your life. But your comments about them, especially your husband, indicate you DO have their support. And as you said, if you can handle a C-section, which I, as a guy, can only be in awe of, you can handle the RNY! ;-)[/quote']

Thanks!! I worry too much...at least I know that about me so that helps lol. I love yoyr surgery date. 12/31 right ? New year. New you!!

Here are the guidelines. An A1C 6.5 or higher is diagnostic for diabetes. An A1C of 5.7-6.4 is prediabetes. Hope this helps! Either way RNY us your best option for improvement :)

So happy to see so many new people in the group! Yay for all the new surgery dates and approvals! I submit mine 11/25 and hopefully no issues with a 12/18 surgery date! Its a week before Christmas and with a husband on midnight shift and a 1 year old..this wont be easy. But it will be worth it. Really struggling with this but I have to hope Im making the right choice. :/

RCDLambert,

You are doing the right thing. It is nyhe anticipation that is hard and makes you think more and more about the unknown. That is what makes us crazy. Just know that you will suceed and not inky will your child and husband be there for you ..you will be there for them!!

I just my insurance approval. I finished all of my requirements on October 8th. Submitted to insurance on the 24th approved on the 29th and a date today. So I guess I waited 21 days. I can't believe it happened so fast. I started the process on July so this is crazy fast.

      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.
