My first appointment with the surgeon



Recommended Posts

Well tomorrow is my big day. I am so nervous, I meet the surgeon. So hopefully I will find out tomorrow if she thinks I am a good candidate for the Sleeve. Wish me luck, I really want this I am so ready. 2 years thinking about having the surgery. I was worried about something going wrong and I kept trying to lose on my own. But I would creep right back up. I am 47 I want to enjoy life.

My first appointment with my surgeon is on February 9th as well! I am 4 months through my 6 month program and i am super excited to see what the surgeon has to say! I wanted the sleeve but may have to change to bypass due to gerd and bad heartburn/acid reflux

Hi! I am 47 and scheduled for surgery on 5/3. Have you had surgery yet? I would love to hear about your experience that's far.

      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.
