Surgery date set!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for January 27th ???? 10 a.m. The excitement is real lol. I was concerned about getting my money together for my co-pay. My training coordinator told me that she paid 1600. I was beating myself up cause I set that date cause I was excited and that was the date she said so I went with it.... After I got off the phone I was like "fu*k"...... Today I came up with a bright idea and thought I would call my secondary insurance (caresource) and see if they would cover the expenses that my primary (Aetna) wouldn't cover.... Thank god for giving me that bright idea. They will cover the remaining expenses!!!!! So relieved. I was going to use part of my tax money to pay the co-pay.... Now I can put that money towards a car. God is good! I'm so excited. I had my pre-op appointment today. While I was there, I doubled checked with the insurance coordinator and she said since I had caresource as a secondary they won't have to collect anything from me???? I had my "before photo" taken today. Pre admission testing is on the 13th. That includes: lab work, chest x-ray, EKG, upper GI, Pulmonary and cardiac testing, and meeting with my dietician.

      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.
