Hoosier hottie,

I never read blogs but for some reason I clicked on your wordpress link.

You are a fantastic story teller! I delayed my morning shower to read your story beginning to end.

Loved it.!

Thank you for your honest and consistent accounting. As it turns out I am exactly one year after you (Feb 4 2014).

Different Dr though, so it's not totally freaky.

I just thought I'd say hi and great job! (In your writing and life) Cheers to you!

W.

I came across Hoosier's blog before I found this message board.  This was where I first learned of Mexico as an option (I had NO idea people did this!) and her blog convinced me to call OCC in the first place.  Thanks Hoosier!

Mazzers, glad to see you got your flight logistics cleared up. I just got tickets for my 12/20 surgery date today.

Kindle- My surgery is the same day! Also, we are flying from San Diego into SLC too, which is where I live. My husband is coming with me so if you are flying alone on the 23rd, we can help you out . At least until Salt Lake. When are you flying in?

HoooserGirl is great. I still find myself going back and reading her older posts again because she's such a great writer and super funny. Kudos, HG!!

I'm flying into San Diego on 12/19. We will definitely hook up. My return flight leaves SAN at 3:20....same flight as yours?

How much does he charge for, sleeve and band? Can anyone give an estimate

We sign a contract saying we won't share the cost of our surgery but I can tell you if you email them they contact you pretty quickly with the cost :)

      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.
