Kansas city area sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My name is lacey and I'm having surgery June 30th at Blue valley surgical hospital... Dr. Drahota is performing my sleeve. Just trying to see if I have some people close or maybe even have the same doctor. I'm so ready to start this journey :)

Oh, I know Dr Hamilton, too. Very nice man! And from what my friends have told me, an excellent surgeon. Good luck to you on the 30th! Give a shout out when you are coherent and up and about! See you on the losers bench!

I was sleeved on June 15, I am down 76 pounds!! Have not really had any problems since coming home from my very rough hospital stay. Dr. Price was my dr at St. Luke's on the plaza. I really like the office and staff, they really get you ready for the surgery and after.

      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.
