Sleeve Buddy in Maryland



Recommended Posts

Hey there, I'm in Gaithersburg, but I actually work in Frederick :) I'm looking to get sleeved by the summer time. How far along are you in the process, and who is your surgeon ?

@@2bsleeved26 my paperwork has been submitted and I am awaiting approval. My surgeon is Dr. Osbourne, but I started the process in 2014 with Dr. Cooke (her office is next to Shady Grove Hospital) but 3 months in I found out I was pregnant. Who did you go with?

How exciting! Hoping you get that approval soon. I am going with dr Greene, who happens to share an office with dr Cooke lol.

if we did not move to Frederick I would have definitely went back to that office

I'm in Maryland and in need of a buddy. I was sleeved 2/24/14 and I have actually gained back 30lbs. I'm looking for anyone who would be able to help me back on track and stay there.

hey!! My paperwork was just submitted; however, the insurance coordinator is a total slacker and it did not actually get into the nurse's hands for actual review until I got involved yesterday. I was supposed to get sleeved in September 2014 however prior to submittal I found out I was pregnant. How Las things been post-op?

      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.
