Zzzombrie 86 Posted December 23, 2014 I'm scheduled for Jan 7th with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I have to switch from Atkins to 3 shakes a day with unlimited veggies tomorrow. I've got 5 lbs left to lose before surgery. I've also been having some trouble finding an incentive spirometer at the stores. Where'd you find one and how much did you pay?

Zzzombrie 86 Posted December 23, 2014 So today is my first day on my official preop diet it is going just fine although I thought I was tired before oh man I'm really tired now. I feel like someone put a sleeping pill in everything I drink. I think it is kinda due to lack of carbs but I will get through it and just deal. I hope you ladies are having an easier time then me about it. 3 wks and one day til surgery ugh hurry up December! Welcome to the world of a narcoleptic sister! Well sort of. Definitely the tired all day part. I'll probably be catatonic when I start my liquids tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AquariusDiva 15 Posted December 24, 2014 Tentatively scheduled for the 12th. I got approved by my current insurance toward the end of dec. but come January we have a new insurance. So here is hoping that the approval gets transferred easily enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Veronica Page 488 Posted December 25, 2014 mmm so this morning I was doing nothing and got an itch in my belly button and noticed a small lump in my belly button a painful one. I think I might have a umbilical hernia...this will really suck if I have one cause I can not have surgery with it. I will have to push mine off for awhile. Guess I'll know before my date is set.
