I am a couple days shy of 2 weeks post op and everything is really starting to get better......EXCEPT i have had gout throughout my feet and knees for about a week now. I am taking gout meds and getting my fluids in for the most part but i cannot get rid of it! It just moves from place to place. It has been excruciating and i cant get any real walks in. I dont know what to do about it but i feel like i am cursed and there is no end in sight. Very frustrated.😞

I'm hoping to hear back from my ins. & get this scheduled before the end of November. Do you have to do two week of Clear Liquids before surgery?

I didn't because my BMI was lower than 40. I just had one day of clear liquids

Yes I'd like to know what's involved in pre-op testing as well!

Pre op is just blood draw, talking to the nurse about the procedure, going over medications to take the day of, getting a weight and taking a urine test for pregnancy

I wonder if the gout is from the amount of Protein we need to take in? Though the protein isn't from like steak it's whey. Hmmm. Feel better!!!

November 14th and I’m from NV!!!

OK...one Premier Protein drink is 11 oz and 30 grams Protein. I think that I can fit about half that in at a time. So drinking two of these a day (4 meals) will give me 60 grams protein. The bare minimum. I don't think we are supposed to be drinking Protein Drinks ALL the time. Like more than MEALS. Right? So I shouldn't be sipping on protein drinks during the day but more of Water type items? broth? I'm really confused because I just can't get it all in.

Came down with a cold and my surgery is on Thursday. Have some crackling in my lungs and a cough. What are the chances this can be gone by then. Any ideas?
