Well got the call today letting me know what time to check in tomorrow and 11am it is!! It's a little later than I would've wanted but I'm not going to complain.

I also found out I have no out of pocket cost to be paid before my procedure...it will be covered 100%!! I guess with all my pre op stuff I met my max, which I know I have to pay but I've made arrangements on all those balances and have a nice low monthly payment so I couldn't ask for a better outcome ????

This experience has been so smooth and positive and I have to give all thanks to God. I'm ready for my new beginning and can't wait to see what's in store for me in the future!!

I was supposed to check in at 1045am for a 1215pm surgery. Ended up having my surgery after 9 pm because of an emergency right before mine... Good times.

Best of luck to you and your surgeon and here's hoping for a quick and easy recovery for ya.

Hello everyone I am still in the hospital but I'm going home today. My surgeon said the surgery went very well I'm just having trouble tolerating the pain. It's mostly on the one side where my big incision is all the others are fine. Once my pain goes down a bit I'll be fine because besides that I don't feel any different, makes me wonder if they really did anything in there lol.

Blessings to you all! I've been home most of the day doing well just been sipping as much as I can and walking around my house trying to get this gas moving. I don't have any nausea or any trouble getting fluids down. I don't feel hungry or crave food at all so I have to remind myself to sip otherwise it just slips my mind.

I'm really hoping to move past the pain/gas stage so I can move into the weight loss phase cuz to be honest weight is the furthest thing from my mind. Right now I'm focusing on staying hydrated and eliminating this gas. I'm going to start on my protien shakes in a couple of days hopefully I can tolerate the taste because nothing is tasting good these days.

I sure hope you all's surgeries go well and we can keep all keep in touch ????

      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.
