My surgery is this FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o

Pre-op Appointment with my surgeon is this evening. I feel like I have done so much research and already talked to my Nurse so I think I'm pretty well informed.

Are there any questions I should be sure to ask tonight?

anything and everything that comes to mind, What type of surgery do they recommend and why, what is the failure rate, how much support do they give after the surgery, what would he recommend for you as a goal weight, whats required prior to surgery, medical tests, blood work, etc.

seriously be afraid of no question,

I'm following I have my surgery scheduled for the 31 of this month and have had my first pre op as my surgeon has two. I have my second scheduled for the 26th. I'm also trying to get some ideas on what I can jot down to ask him?!!?

So my appointment took all of 5 minutes. He went over my pre-op test results and said everything looks good, told me surgery would be about 45 minutes and said I was going to do great. Then I got my prescriptions and that was it.

im going to write down a few questions for the app on the 26th so I can render to ask the questions and not have my mind go blank I'm trying to think of anything that I should go over with him? Good luck Hun!

      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.
