Hi Everyone,

I am scheduled for June 29 here in NJ with Dr. Sadek. I started with a seminar back in July then scheduled a visit with the surgeon for December. I always wanted June because I am able to take time off from work with no penalty. I have been to the nutritionist twice, gone to the pulmonalogist, cardiologist and gastro. I have been cleared by psych and have my cardiac tests this week and scheduled my endoscopy for May 3.

I cannot wait!

What hospital will you have your surgery?

One day at a time

I am having it at Robert Wood Johnson. Surgery was postponed though until 7/7 as my surgeon will be out of the country.

My surgeon offered me July 7th as a date today. I have to confirm that with his assistant when she's back in the office on Tuesday. I still need to do some bloodwork and the echocardiogram and get insurance approval. It's a good date for me so I hope it works out.

Hi all - I am hoping for a July date. I have my last nut visit on June 2nd. I see the Dr on June 7th. If all goes according to plan then they will submit for insurance. I cant believe I am nearing the end of this process and am getting so excited.

Where is every located? I am in Bradenton, FL.

I'll be having mine in June hopefully! It was very quick for me. I am a self pay because my insurance pays 0% of any weight loss surgery. :( I went in for my consultation Wednesday, May 25th and am scheduled for a nutrition class and a hematologist (I have a rare blood clotting disorder) visit for June 7th and my final appointment (pre-op day) will have to be scheduled one week before surgery. I'm hoping I'll be scheduled for surgery by the end of June.

      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.
