October Surgery Date

[Alumace 53]

I know mine is on the 25th not sure on what time. Last time I had surgery they tend to work on type 1 diabetics first in case of any bad complications I guess. Tended to just go there at 7am ????

Question?? I just received my approval (yay me!!) and the date insurance gave me was 10/29. Is this just a genetic date the surgeons office gives for precept purposes or is this the actual date? The insurance gal for my surgeons office is out until Monday. I need to put in for my 2 weeks off with my job and would love a concrete date! (I still have my upper GI, EKG and pre OP labs to do).

Lol generic date....not genetic!

Day three liquid diet, my one serving of grits/oatmeal makes this do-able. No one else has experienced hairloss presurgey, wonder if the 50 pounds I already lost since March plays into it. Stress and menopause moat likely, but not good. Want the surgery behind me, Tues the 14th, can't come soon enough.

I'm glad the nausea patch worked for you all, it did nothing for me however I believe the majority of my nausea was from the pca. Right now the only pain I'm having is at the incision sites. I've used my pain meds once today. I am tired of the Protein I have now and am wanting to get unflavored so I can add it to stuff I actually like. Off to GNC in the morning for that. I had 1 bought of nausea today but that was with the Protein Shake. Since I get paid a week before I can go to my next food stage. So I'm going out to buy me pureed foods this weekend.

Go Beni on that date, yay! I really need my husband to hide the scale. I haven't lost anything since my Water weight and it's depressing me, sigh.

Auri--That is something good to mention. The Water weight gain. My friend came home from the hospital and didn't lose anything for a while--she was big time depressed, regretting having the surgery done. But once she started losing, she lost great. 99 pounds total I believe!

We can't focus on that darn scale for a while!!

Okay- why is Panera advertising Soup and sandwiches on the bottom of my screen? On a bariatric weight loss forum! I am dizzy and hungry from no sugar or caffeine today and only 2 shakes and these weird crisps. I am really looking forward to some leafy greens and chicken tonight. Please Panera, go away!!
