What does your packing list look like.

I am a minimalist.

I was just going to bring clothes.

*Flying on an airplane and do not want to be weighed down with nonsense.

That said, I am curious if I need to bring anything for my own comfort or recovery.

I'm going to bring something to make broth with incase I don't like theirs, I'm going to bring my own pillow (my friend said the pillows are terrible) going to bring my iPad to watch movies on. Other than that I think I'll travel minimal too. My friend said to take comfy pants that aren't right around your tummy at all. When are you arriving Harleyguy? Who's your surgeon?

Hi sunshine72, nice to meet you, I'm Dr A. I don't have you booked and I think we haven't skype or Facetime either. Would you like to have a free consult with me?

She's seeing Dr Almanza ... Yikes

What exactly is with the "yikes" comment?

Per the other user on page one.. check out this link on Dr. Almanza. You really should reconsider. Also, BariatricPal pulled him as a recommended doctor and is no longer affiliated with him. Really not a smart move.

And here's one that aired tonight, July 29, 2015.

Team 10: Weight loss surgery gone bad http://www.10news.com/news/team-10-dozens-injured-during-weight-loss-surgery-in-Mexico

If you watch these videos and don't think twice about going to Almanza-God be with you. I'm sure the story is going to get worse for this guy.

Ana Tellez -

You listed several items that someone should bring with them.

Is there a list of items that you can send me.

You have my email.

Thanks.

      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.
