@@leahhindi I'm lucky that my hubby is supportive.....well as much as he can be...haha... He doesn't talk much and if I started telling him I was nervous about getting the surgery done he would probably respond with " so don't do it then"....so I enjoy coming here and chatting with folks going through the same thing I am. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope we'll both get a date quickly!!!

Im also very lucky, my husband has been super supportive. When I first told him I was considering getting the sleeve done he was a little freaked out and not to sure about it because it is surgery after all but he was still open minded about it. So he came to my first seminar with me so that he could learn about it to and from that point on he has been super supportive and agrees that this is the best thing for me. Once he learned how much more dangerous it is to be so over weight vs. having the surgery he was all for it because he just wants me to be healthy. So I would definitely recommend bringing your husband along to appointments to hear this stuff strieght from the surgeon, it will probably have much more of a impact on him them him just researching on the internet.

I'm sorry I just saw where I never answered your question....I'm located in North Florida in a small town outside of Jacksonville and I'm having my surgery here local........I've heard a lot of folks saying good things about your doctor.

I'm supposed to be in May but I don't have a date yet. I have an appointment for chest x-ray and swallow test this Friday....then psychiatric eval and NUT visit next Wed.....and then lastly a 2 hour class I have to take on 4/25....After the class they submit to my insurance and then finally give me an actual date......but they are telling me it will be in May. I would love to stay in touch! I'm in Florida. Where are you located @@skinnyme13 ?

Im in laughlin, NV, where are you at? Im having my surgery done with dr. Ariel Ortiz in Mexico. Good luck with all your stuff!

      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.
