I just finished my last appointment before I get to schedule my surgery today! I'm so excited and I have even lost some weight on my own. I have lived my whole life being over weight. I have had insulin resistance and PCOS for nearly half of my life. I thought I'd be more nervous after making this decision, but to be honest, I wish I could have the surgery as soon as tomorrow! I am definitely ready to simply feel healthy for the first time in my life! I hope to work very hard and truly use this surgery as my tool for success! I already have a gym membership in place and I've taken time off from school to really focus on myself. I can't wait to start my journey and join everyone in their success stories. I'm truly blessed to have this opportunity to change my life. Wish me luck! ????

Hi MickeyMax15, Fjinally got all set up for myu operstion for 9/18/15. Now on full liquids until then. Have a massive headache but working through it. One though: my doctor perscribed me a anti nausea pill to take the night before my surgery. It last for three days. Doctor highly recommened it due to nausea that relates to the anesthesia given durign the time of surgery. Also no more insulin after the operation. YEAH. will gradualy be taken off other meds depending on my AC1 levels. Keep me posted on yur progress.

That's awesome that you won't be on your meds after surgery! I have finished all my appointments and the only thing left for me to do is meet with the surgeon to set up my surgery date! Good luck with your surgery! ????

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
