Where are all the February surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for Feb 1. Preop starts Jan 25. Excited and nervous all at the same time. I don't have much support at home, so I'm hoping to find a local support group in S Florida

I'm waiting on approval for a 2/1 surgery date. Do u think constant calls help speed things along? I'll do it, but what do u ask them, if you case has been approved?

I'm waiting for everything to come together also. My healthcare team has told me to be ready by February 8, and that they are sure the insurance will be okay. I was told that this is common place in many cases, the ins company runs behind or drags their feet. Hope we all hear soon so we can put this niggling doubt to bed!!!????

My DS is scheduled for Feb 2. I've been on a general weight loss diet since September (put myself on it). The pre-op diet of liquids only is just 24 hours before surgery. Have a bunch of pre-op things to do tomorrow starting at 8am. It rained ice and snow for about two days here and our neighborhood has yet to be cleared. Hope I am able to make the appointments.

I'm in central Il area, and we got 4" snow only last week. It's starting to melt, but freezes at night. Good luck to you and be careful out there! I'm tired of winter and ready for spring. Snow might be pretty, but it also a pretty big mess and inconvenience!

      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.
