I'm so sad and worried now. I was scheduled to have my surgery on Monday, April 4th. When the dr went in to do my sleeve, he found a large mass attached to the lining on the outside of my stomach. So he wasn't able to do the surgery. I now have to see a gastronologist to have the mass looked at before I can have my sleeve surgery.

How scary for for you! Please keep us all posted. Sending positive thoughts your way x

Hello everyone

I've been MIA for a while. But today finally after 8 weeks of submitting my paperwork to the insurance company and being on the pre-op diet for 4 days: my surgery was approved! I'm scheduled for April 18th! So happy. Finally this is really happening! After going back and forth with my insurance company it's all good! It's like I still can't believe it!

Woohoo.

May 2nd for me, I start the liquid diet April 18th. Feeling calm about it right now.

May 2 for me too ;) My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet, just high Protein low carb. I'm feeling a bit nervous tho.

I'm due to meet with my surgeon, Dr Varban, next week so I don't know exactly what he's going to recommend for the pre-op diet, the team at University of Michigan have a reputation for being a bit strict though so I'll assume I'm on Water for 2 weeks prior and then it can only get better :D UoM recommend Unjury Protein Shakes so I ordered and tried a sampler pack; compared to other shakes I've tried e.g. Muscle Milk, Unjury tastes good. I ordered 3 tubs of Protein Shake powder from Unjury yesterday - Orig chocolate, vanilla, and chicken Soup flavors.

I've talked to many post-Op people from support group meetings I've attended at UoM, ALL say they have no regrets doing the surgery. Many appear to have lost half their original weight.

Good luck!

I am doing well. I came to peace with my decision when I decided to do the procedure. What I try to do is find myself imagining myself reaching my goal. What I will look like. What I will feel like. I also imagine doing the things that I will be able to do once I reach my goal and, the effect it will have on people that I love and care for. You also need someone to support you and confide in.

      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.
