Mine was SOOO smooth I couldn't believe it but pre and post op diet is a MUST according to my Surgeon. He has stopped surgery because of this

Although I have not had the surgery yet, I totally sympathize in regards to fear. I am not sure I am helped by the stories of those with complications, however, what I do continue to hear is that despite them, they would do it again. So, with that, I will go forward with the decision and hope for the best. I am comforted by the stories that it was not as bad as expected. It seems like the best course of action is to follow what the Dr says and not to deviate. I am all in on that one!

Just found out I have insurance co authorization! I'm scared to death. Surgery on 9/11! Is this a bad omen? I have to have an EGD next week.

Ok. Surgery date changed to Sept 15, only 2 weeks from today in Allentown, Pa! Drinking Protein shakes and as much as I need to do this, ( 250 pds and 5'4) I'm so so scared.

Anyone want to be buddies?

Hey Shelly, I'm in the York/Harrisburg area :) I know how you're feeling. Just got my Auth last week and go for my last pre-op visit with the NUT tomorrow. Hoping to get a set surgery date! *fingers crossed* Hope all is going smoothly for you since your EGD. Seems like once the auth happens everything goes warp speed. Lol

      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?

      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.
