March 1st Scheduled



Recommended Posts

I originally was scheduled for Jan 26th but couldn't get my cardiologist to sign my release for that day so now I am scheduled for March 1st. I will just be glad to get it over with and start the process. I am not getting any younger. I am a senior at 62 and I want to enjoy some thinner years.

So sorry to hear your surgery has been postphoned. I also had some trouble with my PCP not giving me the medical clearance because the PCP didn't have a surgery date. The surgeon didn't want to give me a date until we had PCP clearance. I finally told the surgeon you have to give the PCP a date otherwise this surgery is not going to happen. He finally did give the PCP a date. However he still hadn't given me clearance. I just kept after him and got the office manager involved and on Dec 31st I finally got my date.

Keep doing what your doing and come March 1st you have lost even more weight and will have a better recovery. I wonder why I no longer saw your posting in the Jan threads.

I have created a Facebook page for March Sleevers 2016 but it is a secret page because many say they don't want people to be able to see their names on the member list. If you would like to be a member please send me a private message and let me know your email address for FB and I can send you an invite.

:D

I was originally scheduled for feb 1, 2016 but I fell. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon and found out I have ruptured my Achilles' tendon and have fx my heel bone. I have to have surgery to fix this and it is scheduled for feb 1, 2016. My sleeve has now been rescheduled for march 21...

I have never had any breaks or fractures and my only surgeries were baby related...1 c-section and 1 infected ovary ...11 and 20 years ago!!! This delay must have happened for a reason. It was a bummer to find out I had to be delayed...I was so close!!! I had made so many February sleeve friends and was so excited to start this journey with them. I'm still excited to follow their progress but I look forward to making new March sleeve friends.

I'm scheduled for March 15th. I am getting excited but scared also. My brother in law claims it is the free of the unknown, I agree but it still isn't easy. I am committed to the surgery though. My every day struggles convince me that I am on the right path.

We are still looking to add more March 2016 Sleevers to our Facebook page. The page is marked as secret so you can't search for it but if you send me your facebook email address I can invite you. I am having real trouble getting into Bariatric pals today so you can either send me your FB email at my private message here or to dieselgal@twc.com

      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.
