I'm also having my rny on the 15th. Guess that makes for triplets. Ha ha ! Started my pre op diet yesterday very different from the usual. Wish you both luck. If you would like my wife had a sleeve about a year ago and I have been going to two support groups for about 6 months and can maybe answer questions if you have any. Once again best of luck to you both hope to keep in touch.

June 15th is going to be our lucky day!

Thanks so much! I will definitely be in touch because my husband is having sleeve later in the year. Wish you the best as well.

My husband will also be getting sleeved, probably this time next year. The three of us will definitely need to keep in touch. 12 more days!

I'm a teacher and was planning on having my rny last December. There was a delay and I'm now having it June 19th. I think Christmas break will be your best option. You want to give yourself as much time as possible to recover.

Hey! I'm a teacher and also scheduled for the 19th of June :)

I would agree with the other post, if you can't get it completed in July, or the beginning of Aug, wait until you have atleast a full 2 weeks off, or plan on using some sick time.

From my experience having had RNY myself, It is better to get an appointment when your six months is up. Your Insurance may change the requirements. Waiting will get you caught up in the changes from six months to a year. BCBS feel as though we are having bypass in a higher number. You might find yourself on hold. If you are approve do not try to delay. Your job will still be their when you get healthy mine was.

And I thought we were going to be surgery twins! :-) Do you have to do a pre-op diet? I have to do one the 10 days before surgery.

I know :) well I started the liquid diet the day they called with the new date. So It would have been 2 weeks, but now it will be 2 weeks minus 2 days.

I anyone else done for the summer? Our last day with kids was Friday! I still have to go in this week to wrap up some paperwork, but I'm just so grateful that it will be a little less hectic and I will have plenty of time to focus on my pre-op diet and getting my house and other affairs in order. 8 days to go!

      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.
