Surgery went well today. The only discomfort I have is the area where my MD took a liver biopsy.

I originally had surgery scheduled for 12/19 with Dr #1- insured denied me. Then a Dr. #2 approved me but I had out of pocket expenses of $5k. I'm still doing it!! He scheduled me for 12/15 this Friday! Super excited, then i get a call to do it this Wednesday ---- holy smoke, I'm not ready for that so I'm sticking to friday!!! I seriously am freaking out that this is real!! After I got denied, I'd lost all hope. Wishing everyone a speedy pre op diet- what a trip this has been
Good luck everyone, I can't wait to see progress pics.

Scary that mine is outpatient.

Yours is outpatient? Yikes. I've never heard of that. Is the "MN" in your screen name Minnesota? That's where I'm from. Can I ask what hospital system? I went through Allina Health.

Did anyone's surgeon take a liver biopsy? That seems to be the only thing sore in/on me from yesterday's surgery. No gas pain at this point (knock on wood).

No, I didn't have a biopsy. What was yours checking for?

My labwotk came back PreOp showing fatty liver disease, so he wanted to check it out. He said the biopsy looked fine, and it should go away with weight loss.

Surgery is today! So freaked out right now I’m sitting in the staging area waiting to be called. This anti nausea patch has me light headed and a sever case of dry mouth.

Surgery tomorrow and the nerves are kicking in! I’m not so much nervous for the surgery as I am for life after. food has been my comfort for my entire life, so it’s kind of scary to think that I won’t have that relationship anymore. Overall, though, I’m excited to build a new, healthy life!

I am a week into my pre op diet...getting sleeved on the 20th. But man alive do i want something salty...these creamy sweet Protein Drinks are making me queasy. I have a bunch of home made broth that ive been drinking and that is the high point of my day, but the rest of the day is rough. Does anyone have any tips for finishing these last 8 days?

      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.
