Where are all the February surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I have a surgery date for early February. I was hoping for January but my surgeons OR schedule for January is full.

So, who is with me in the February surgery corner??

Oh and I am having a sleeve...started my pre op diet on January 1st and will continue it until surgery.

I was told by the Bariatric Advocate to start looking for a day that I want in February while the insurance is being processed. I am thinking Feb 15 :)

Well Nurse Leonora I think I'm going to be a February sleever. I am waiting on my insurance to approve me. I dont think it will be an issue as i have several co-morid conditions. I will let you know! i don't know exactly when/if they have submitted it but I will be calling the insurance company later today to check.

I will probably be early February. Should have been this month, but my husband will be out of the country. Understandably, he wants to be here when it's done. I'd love to find a sleeve buddy! (when I'm given my date, that is)

I'm 2/1 and putting myself on a liquid diet. Surgeon didn't require one but he did ask me to lose about 16 pounds if I could so I'm doing that. :)

      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.
