I'll be sleeved February 18 in Norman, Oklahoma by Dr Lana Nelson. I'm actually from Durant, OK but think my surgeon is worth the drive. Any other February 18 sleevers?

I definitely think it's worth driving to get someplace that seems great based on your research (I flew to Mexico myself :)!).

Best wishes as you prep for your surgery!

Thank you!! I actually almost went to Mexico for my surgery and then found out that my insurance would cover my surgery. Lots of knowledgable doctors there who have actually been doing the sleeve longer than most US doctors.

Me too!! I have severe spinal stenosis and I'm so ready to take some of this pressure off my spine and hips. I've been on cloud 9 and smiling all the time since I just found out.

I have to try really hard not to think about the IV, though. To me, that's the scary part. I know, weird. But I was told they can numb it. Maybe I won't pass smooth out this time. Lol

Good luck! I know everything will go great!!

      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.
