That’s wonderful! I had my surgery at CRMC and since I’ve worked w/ my surgeon in the O.R., he gave me incite on the surgery. So he referred me for the surgery. I also have share of cost Medicaid w/ Medicare. But nevertheless, depending on your insurance they’ll let you know how many nutrition classes you’re required to take prior to surgery. I also had to get surgical clearances from my pulmonologist, PCP, and get a psych evaluation. I wish you the best! :)

I had my surgery on September 20th. My surgeon is Dr. Wright also. He’s amazing and an excellent doctor. You’re in good hands. He really cares for his patients. I’m excited for you!

I can't wait. I have heard so many good things about him. Can I ask how much weight have you lost?

You’ll enjoy him. I’ve worked w/ him in the O.R. and he really helped me tremendously. And ultimately was one of my main reasons for choosing him. So far I’ve lost 30lbs. My weight loss was slow at first because I wasn’t hungry and I was so focused on my Fluid and Protein intake, but failed to get the calories needed. So I ended up meeting w/ my bariatric counselor and she helped me. Now my weight loss is back on the right track. :)

      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.
