Recommended Posts

I just received my surgery date - my VSG will be December 8th, 2015. I was approved by insurance last week. I hope these 8 weeks go by quickly! Nice to meet you all :)

I'm December 8th, 2015 also! I'm from WI having surgery at Froedtert in Milwaukee. Good luck with everything!!! ????
I was scheduled for December 14 but moved it up to the 8th. I'm scared, excited, nervous, etc.

Just did my last weight management class today. They said everything should be submitted hopefully tomorrow and then it's the waiting game.

My last visit before submitting is

Nov 13. I can not wait to wait on the final countdown :). Good luck

It has been a lot of emotions for me too. I am nervous, impatient, excited, scared. I feel ready, but have so much to do! Glad to share the date with you too.

OOPS I guess my attempt at multi quote didn't work as I was replying to cj76 & cookie_queen and anyone else interested in being friends either on this site or the other one mentioned.

I am also on myfitnesspal as ssbeadlady. Look me up and send an invite if your interested in being friends there.

I had my 5th visit this past Monday. I didn't lose as much as I should have as my body is doing the usual. Lose good for 2 to 3 months and than stop. So far lost 29 pounds of the 6 months supervised diet. Have one more month to go. All my paper work has to be into the surgeon by Nov 21 and I have 2 Dr that haven't sent in their eval yet despite me telling them of the deadline. My Dr is going out of the country for the holiday so it looks like some time in Jan. A week before the surgery I have a 4 hour workshop I have to attend and it is on a Tuesday which is one of the 2 days I work. Can't change the workshop so I will miss another day of work in addition to all the time off for the double surgery. Oh well I need them both and will not let anything stop me. Good luck to everyone who has upcoming surgery. A brand new life is coming to us all.

I am hoping for a December sleeve. Got all my appointments done except one more (hopefully) psyc meet.

I just hope I can get it done before end of the year for insurance sake!

hi ! I will send you a PM with my email address and you can add me on my fitness pal. Great tool. 13 days till my last NUT visit and I will get my surgeon appointment that day. So hoping they can work me in the following week to send my paperwork off to insurance approval. I am ready I can't wait. I have read Aetna is taking about a week to approve so I'm hoping for first week in December. How nice would it be to be 20 lbs lighter by New Years.

      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.
