Told my OB/Gyn today



Recommended Posts

I had my annual check up today and filled my OB/Gyn in on my surgery details. (Still haven't even told my PCP) She was so excited and thought what I did was great, and offered to arrange for any followup bloodwork I needed. She wanted the name of my surgeon in Mexico because she has several other patients who's insurance doesn't cover WLS. I forwarded all my records from OCC so she'd have all the info for future reference.

Prior to my surgery, I had my regular check up with my GYN. I let him know about the surgery. He was, by far the most supportive of all the doctors I had told. I will always appreciate his support. Especially because some doctors (including my general practitioner) were not supportive at all. So glad you had a positive reaction! It makes such a difference :)

My gyn surprised me by asking if she can refer other patients who may have questions about WLS to me because she sees me as a success story related to that. I was very flattered!

      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.
