I understand completely. I've had 5 back surgeries so I guess I'm an old pro at stuff like that. Lol

Hello tazi I was just at Dr goldstein seminar I also have horizon and and really excited to get the sleeve if you need some help just let me know I have done tons of research good luck

That is cool that you were at the seminar as well. I was able to bring my two biggest supporters with me, my son and niece. I felt more at ease to see he is also anal and has a great sense of humor. The first funny thing that happen when I got there was when I had to sign in Eva, was super happy and goes you mist be April. All I could do is laugh. My niece was shock that Eva know who I was before asking for my name. It was priceless! I feel can trust Dr Goldstein. Where do you live at? What have you done so far?

Wow I think I driving my the receptionist at my surgeon's office.....lol. I spent most of my Thursday making phone calls after I was done work. It took me three day 36 hours later I finally find a psychologist that can do my clearance. I was able to get an appointment in April. On Monday I have schedule appointments for a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, pulmonarist, and to get an EDG done. So hopefully by the time I see my surgeon I will be a head of everything. I started grocery shopping for the pre and pro-op.

u have to get tested for all of that .. woooow?!

n I'm complaining bout one thing...

      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.
