January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm being revised from a band to sleeve Jan 16 in NJ. I go to Drs 12/18 for preop work. I onlty told a few people about the band and only 2 about the sleeve. I lost a grand total of 35 lbs with the band and gained all but 10 back. Can't wait to get started, what a way to begin the year!!

I got my date! January 14th with my pre-op December 20th. Holy cow! My only concern is that I have gained weight since i last saw him. I pray the doctor doesn't reschedule me!

I know it's a longshot, but are there any other nursing mommies? I am still nursing my 17 month old and am hoping to continue to do so after surgery.

My husband works offshore and we have 3 daughters . . . hoping I can work it out so he can be at home with the girls and my mom will come out with me. I added you both as a friend - finers crossed. . . hope all goes well!! :)

I hope it works out for you. My husband is staying back with my daughter. That's why I'm going by myself.

Well fingers crossed. (Im still waiting on insurance which kicks in, in January) that my date will be the 13th of jan. I have pretty much everything done just need my psych and classes besides the ekg scope and such. I already have had the class before and have seen a psych before too. But that was last year. Im hoping and praying that this year will be the winner. Just wish my friend could have it done the same day :-(

      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.
