Thanks and will do, Mouse :)

How are you doing????

A day away from three weeks out and a week out from wisdom teeth extraction and I'm doing really well! Especially since I'm now into my purée stage and at first I had to force myself to eat. But now I look forward to my Protein Snacks lol dark meat chicken and fish are MIRACLES.

Yay! Glad you are eating. Omg dark chicken meat sounds sooooo good. I'm on to liquids only tomorrow and then fast and then surgery!! I'm very excited but keep thinking I will forget something. But I have all my lists and I'm sure I will bring everything I need. Getting nervous now.

You'll do great! And yes, you will hate the liquid purge as we all do but think, a year from now, you won't even remember this part :)

Hi Ladies, me again :)

 

I'm planning to buy the Post-Op Package after surgery while I'm at the OCC and am wondering if I can consolidate the containers of powder into 2. 

 

Also, I won't have any problems carrying on that much Protein Powder on my flights will I?  I know I can only take a small amount of liquids, gels etc. but I'd hate to buy all that Protein and have it taken away. 

 

thanks :)

Healthbound1, I was there the week before Thanksgiving & several ladies tried buying the post op package while there & they didn't have it in the clinic. They were told they needed to purchase from the website so you may want to call & check.

Ah, crap.  Really?  So, it's possible I can't buy the Vitamins or shakes while there?  I hadn't even considered this, I'll write and ask right now.  Thank you!

There is a GNC near the hotel if you need it. When I was at the OCC in February the clinic didn't have any Enspira products either. If you don't have any shakes for the few days after surgery, you will be fine. Drinking Water, Gatorade G2, or Vitamin water was all I could muster for about a week after surgery!

Has anyone tried to get copies of their medical records from the OCC post surgery? I am having no luck in getting an actual answer, and I am having some pain issues that won't go away. My local Dr insists on seeing the records but won't contact the OCC directly, saying I must, but I'm getting the run-around. Would love to hear from others who have received their copy or tried. Thanks!

Basically you have to get them while you are there because they destroy them due to lack of space. They figure they won't see you again so they toss them. They do such a large volume that it would take up too much space.

Yeah, I asked to buy them there, they said they didn't carry the vitamins. Only available online

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
