I just went on the new website to check it out. They have not brought over active forums, and your profile is void of pictures, the count for comments you have made or posts you have started, and your information. I am hoping this all carries over!

Well I was scheduled to have surgery at the end of December but I called an had mine rescheduled for the 1st week of January. I really would like to do in December because I'm very anxious, but my choice is based mainly on deductible issues. I want the max out of pocket fees I spend on surgery to cover me a whole year, not just 2 weeks! Idk maybe I'm crazy....

Actually that's a smart move. It's only a week or so later.

So. My boss/husbands uncle' date=' just seen on the calendar that I'm taking off for surgery. I work at a newspaper and I do the majority of the layout work. He comes up to me and says that I need to teach him how to do it, because he's heard of all the complications and is expecting the worse. wth. >:([/quote']

Umm, he sux for sayn that!! But teach him n once u return, maybe he'll give u a bonus for all the hard work that u do. And while ur teaching, perhaps teach him some etiquette, that was way rude. Goodluck w everything:)

Thanks for checking that out! I appreciate it... right now I am on my PC at work, but do not want to keep utilizing that as an option, would rather use the APP and wasn't sure if I should go ahead and upload both apps or not.

Had my Upper GI this morning. Officially I'm clean but the Dr said they debated for a while as to whether or not I have a hiatal hernia.

Meanwhile I'm telling everyone in my office that they found a HH which sets the stage for my cover up story.

Andrew

Andrew - Come to find out I have a rather large hiatal hernia, which being self pay, i was very happy about since insurance covers that part of the surgery thus lowering my out of pocket expenses for the sleeve.

I also have chosen to tell people my leave is for the HH. I have worked here 14 years and never had to take a leave before, so it is all new to me - I never realized how many would ask me so many questions. There are two co-workers I have been friends with outside of work for many years and they do know that the sleeve is also happening. then my family knows and my best friend. That is it!

i have contemplated over this part for months now, even when I was just researching it was only my husband that i discussed this with. It wasn't until we were a go that I told those closest to me in the past few weeks.

You know, I will teach him. I was going to teach another co-worker. But if I teach him, then he will ease up on the smart-cracks during paper day. Also, now I will feel more comfortable taking more time off work. I think it is going to backfire on him. lol. My surgery is on a Wednesday. I was taking off until the following Tuesday, so I could come and do the paper. Maybe I will take that entire week off too. ;)

      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.
