I'm in Dublin, I have my first appointment for the psych evaluation on 1/22. Then six months of supervised dieting (been there done that) and crossing my fingers my insurance will approve me. Hoping to be getting a new wardrobe for Christmas next year! :)

I am just starting the process, hoping to have my surgery next summer. I’m sorry about the pneumonia, that’s no joke! Feel better 😊

Yes I agree. I wish you lots of luck through your journey and if I can ever answer any questions I'd be happy to. Did you say what hospital you are going through? I have Dr. Sonnanstine at RMH.....I highly recommend him.

I am going to OSUWMC to Dr. Needleman. I work there so I don’t have much choice but I’m happy with my choice. I know Riverside is a great hospital though!

That's so funny I work for OhioHealth so that's my obvious choice. I actually started OSU's program 3 years ago and then kinda changed my mind about the whole thing until I've seen more and more amazing outcomes from co-workers.

Haha it’s nice to have the resources we do working at the places that do/will do our surgeries! I only know two people who have had WLS but they were both successful. I didn’t hear about the whole process so this message board has been a godsend.

Hey everyone, I had my sleeve done on 9-12-17. I went through OSU and my surgeon was Dr. Noria. I had the best experience going through OSU and Dr. Noria is an amazing Dr. If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer.

That’s great to hear! How long were you there? How was the anesthesia process and nursing staff?

      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.
