Got my date! Only 3 weeks away ....



Recommended Posts

I wanted the date so bad. I bothered the nurse and surgeon multiple times a week. Now that I have my date and it's less than 3 weeks away I'm so nervous. I'm happy too but mostly nervous.

Sept. 14 is that magic date. Wow, I'm so ready for this!!

Do you have your insurance approval yet? I'm scheduled for Spet 2 and I still don't have an answer from my insurance company.

Yes, Kaiser does it all in house so you are automatically covered if you fit their criteria. Fingers crossed for yours to come through!

My coworker just got sleeved on Monday and she was super worried and had a case of the what ifs... She came out fine and the only compliant she had was a very dry mouth.

We can do this!!!

Oh thank you so much. I have been reading post after post. No real horror stories like "I had leaks and was in the hospital for a month". I can deal with a dry mouth! Lol. Just don't put me in a coma or mistakenly cut out my pylorus! ????

      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.
