NEED A BUDDY WHO WILL BE SLEEVED IN ROANOKE VIRGINIA SOMETIME IN MARCH 2015 with DR LUCKTONG



Recommended Posts

IF there is anyone who is being sleeved in March or April of 2015 send me a message if you are looking for a buddy, I am afraid I am going to back out but hopefully a surgery buddy will help, at least someone who understands our reasoning and journey for this.

Thank you

Hi. My name is Karen. I hope to be sleeved in march or april. They are submitting my paperwork Tuesday. Time will tell. it would be great to have a buddy because besides my husband, I haven't told anyone. You always hear the comment that it is the easy way out and it is so not. I can't deal with all that. The struggle of all these years being overweight. I cannot wait for the date of my journey to truly begin. My bmi 43.3 My journey started down this path because I couldn't fit on a ride with my nephew. I was so embarrassed. I also have arthritis degenerative disk disease, severe pain in my knee, and just generally feel old, I had colon cancer in past. I can't do the things I used to and it makes me sad. I finally want to live my life again. You are beautiful and you are strong. You can do this for yourself!

Hi Karen, my name is Yvonne and I'm having my surgery on April 20th with Dr. Lucktong in Roanoke. I just saw this post so you may have already had your surgery by now. I too am like you in that I didn't want to be in pain all the time from carrying all this weight around all the time! I have had a knee replacement, I am a diabetic , type 2, have COPD, and high blood pressure. My doctor was all for me having this surgery and I am ready for this next part of my journey to begin as you are!

Please keep in touch as I really don't communciate with a lot of people but would like to be here if you ever want to come on to just vent! Stay strong and beautiful!

      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.
