First I want to start off by saying I love this site. Everyone is so supportive, I love coming here. Okay here is my question. I use a Cpap machine every night and have to admit I actually make sure I use it, I get a little worried if I don't. I notice that some times when I wake up I feel like I have air in my stomach, it usually goes away quickly when I get up. One or two loud burps and it's gone. Now in regard to surgery do you think this would cause the incision to open? I'm planning on asking the surgeon during my next weight check but that is 3 weeks out and wondering if any else had a similar thought?

No i do not feel this would impact your incision. I used mine in the hospital with no issues and im on a fairly high setting.

I have to have a CPAP machine. Just found out I have sleep apnea. Will that stop surgery?

No, this should not stop your surgery. If it does, I would recommend finding another surgeon.

My surgeon wouldn't let me bring mine to the hospital, and I wasn't allowed to use it bc of the air for 6 weeks.

Yes. They had me on the cannula till discharge. Then just had me sleep upright till I could use it again.

      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.
