I did get the sleeve with Dr. Rosenthal. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Good luck to you!

My surgery was textbook. I would not have it any other way. Dr. Rosenthal is the best.

I had to do three months of nutrition and some test. Once everything was completed, they submitted the paperwork and I want to say about two weeks. It was fast in my opinion.

Congratulations to you both. It's not an easy journey and you guys need a good support system. I had s great surgery buddy whom I met on this site and I still am in contact with. Even though I haven't met her, it's important to have someone who is going through some of the same issues as you. I wish you both all the best.

      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.
