Thank you for that info! I've never heard if that before. Interesting! I hope that clears up super fast for you!

Alright, I have one more question. What exactly is a NUT? I see it on here all the time and I think it's the dietician, but not sure :)

I am super new here but I believe it stands for Nutritionist....I could be wrong though! Haha

I am waiting to hear from the surgical coordinator. I have called and sent emails. I am so excited I cant sit still. I have everything done except my Edoscopy which is next Wednesday. I am hoping she calls me and says next month. I am on pins and needles... LOL. To all of you that are in the same boat I am, I hope all goes well with everyone. I know I havent been this excited in a long time. "STOKED"

Hi! My surgery is July 9th. I'm 5 ft and 206 pounds. I chose the sleeve but thinking about switching to gastric bypass. Anybody have thoughts on that ?? I also would love to have someone to go through this journey with!!

Hey jaxsee I'm July 9th too. There is no reason for you to have a bypass. You're only 206!!! Sleeve is the way to go. We can be buddies!!! So excited to start this journey. My hubby and family are not happy with this decision so support is greatly appreciated. I'm 265 5'2" 36 yrs old. I wish everyone success!!

The dr office is submitting to my insurance next week. They are saying they would schedule for first part of August if everything comes back ok. I just turned 45, and can't wait to get this new journey started. I am currently at 310 and 5'11". I am getting the sleeve.

I am hoping to have my sleeve the first week in July! So glad for a support group! I will be having it done in Mexico. Self pay! Down fall is you don't get the help beforehand? So I am doing a lot of reading. Any support would be great!

I am so ticked off right now. I have been seeing my PCP for several months for Weight Managemnt and I was told this would count as towards my insurance requirements. So i spoke with the advocate at the hospital today and she informs me my doctors notes are not thorough enough . Now i have to start three months of classes. I ws hoping to have surgery soon . Al other pre -op testing done except psh eval which is scheduled next week. Now it may be late August before i am sleeved. (TEARS)

      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.
